I live in the land of Disney， Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such aglamorous， fun-filled place are happier than others.If so， you have some mistaken ideas about thenature of happiness.
Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun andhappiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happinessis what we experience after an act. It is a deeper， more abiding emotion.
Going to an amusement park or ball game， watching a movie or television， are funactivities that help us relax， temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But theydo not bring happiness， because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play， it is to teach us thathappiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich， beautiful individuals have constant accessto glamorous parties， fancy cars， expensive homes， everything that spells “happiness”。 Butin memoir after memoir， celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun：depression， alcoholism， drug addiction， broken marriages， troubled children andprofound loneliness.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and lesssatisfying. If he‘s honest， he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. Forcommitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun， adventure andexcitement. Marriage has such moments， but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Similarly， couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless funover painful happiness. They can dine out ever they want and sleep as late as they want.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night‘s sleep or a three-day vacation. Idon’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of themost liberating realizations we can ever come to. It liberates time： now we can devote morehours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money： buying thatnew car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seemspointless. And it liberates us from envy： we now understand that all those rich andglamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much funactually may not be happy at all. 1.To the author， Hollywood stars all have an important role to play that is to __.
