A
It was reported that a 95-year-old Grandma was refused to be supported by her eight children and was forced to take her own children to court.
Treating the old well is a traditional virtue in China. For those who don’t, it is necessary to read the letter written by a parent:
Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, please have patience and remember the hours I spent teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things thousand and one times, do not interrupt me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented in order that you didn’t want to bathe. When you see my knowing little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄). I taught you how to do so many things: to eat food, to dress well, to confront life...When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not. When my tired legs do not allow me to walk, give me your hand, the same way I did when you gave your first step. And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the best thing for you and I tried to prepare the way for you. Please be next to me, try to understand me and help me as I did it when you started living. I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, son.

Still, he knew that something was missing in his life. He wasn't happy. All his life he had been striving for happiness, but he had never been able to find it.
Then one day, he heard about a hidden temple in Nepal that had a special room that contained the secret of happiness. He immediately sold all that he owned and set out to find this hidden temple. After many years of searching and countless hardships he arrived there. He was tired and penniless, but he knew that none of that was important now because he had found the temple. He asked a wise, smiling monk(僧侣)if he could enter the special room. The monk agreed and showed him the stairs leading to the room. He climbed them with legs shaking with expectation and slowly opened the door. He stared into the room with sunlight streaming through the window and saw what he had come so far to find. There hanging on the wall was the secret of happiness. The man gazed at himself in the mirror and laughed.
It is time that we all realized that we were the secret of our own happiness. Happiness is a choice that we can make. Don't spend the rest of your life searching the world for happiness then.
