Chapter 2 Happiness is a problem

文章开篇讲述了这样一个故事：一位国王过于spoil 他的儿子，在宫殿内build high walls ，避免儿子接触外面的suffering ，直到有一天儿子亲眼看到了外面的世界，他开始觉得being rich is meaningless.as is so typical of young man ，他blame 父亲给他提供的一切，深夜逃离了宫殿，开始了风餐露宿的生活，体会到了疾病、饥饿、孤独、多次濒临死亡。就这样很多年went by ，王子却开始困惑了，It wasn't bringing him the insight he had desired ，他还是不知道生命的意义所在。王子开始明白，that Suffering totally sucks .And it's not necessarily that meaningful either .如果漫无目的，Suffering 就像富有一样毫无意义。为了grand idea ，王子在树下苦思冥想了49天。他终于悟出了～that Life itself is a form of suffering .是啊，人生是一场修行，无论你处于哪个人生阶段，无论富贵或贫穷，都有各自的烦恼。也许suffering并不守恒，但却是我们人生的必修课。We all must suffer nonetheless .王子终于有了自己的人生tenet :that pain and loss are inevitable and we should let go of trying to resist them .既然痛苦不可避免，何必花费心思躲避它呢？

痛苦激发潜能。任何事物都有它存在的必然意义。就像人的痛觉反应，痛苦也在时刻提醒我们，什么才是重要的。

Life is essentially an endless series of problems. The solution to one problem is merely the creation of the next one .

Don't hope for a life without problems .There's no such thing.Instead ,hope for a life full of good problems .

Problems never stop ;they merely get exchanged or upgraded.

幸福的秘诀在于解决问题。

一些人不愿接受现实而逃离，一些人接受现实却否认自己有解决问题的能力，却把失败归因于外界环境，以此来安慰自己，但当我们短暂的逃离不得不面对的时候我们往往更痛苦。

Negative emotions are a call to action .

Positive emotions are rewards for taking the proper action .

直面问题，采取行动，生活才更simple .
