What is a sense of ceremony?

In your daily life, have you ever complained that you are unhappy?

Have you ever envied the exquisite life of others, but it's troublesome when you do it yourself?

You know, that's how happiness slips away from you.

There is a classic dialogue in the fairy tale The Little Prince:

The little prince asked the little fox, "What is the sense of ceremony?"

Fox replied, "It is to make one day different from other days and one moment different from others."

In the long years of life, many things that we firmly remember are just some kind of ritual experience.

When it comes to New Year's Day, everyone thinks of countdown or New Year's Eve madness.

For parents-in-law, this is a special festival-wedding anniversary.

My father-in-law will book the hotel early, secretly prepare the gifts, and quietly gather us all together in private.

We will shout at the dinner table: Mom and Dad, happy marriage.

Mother-in-law will mutter in her mouth to make her children laugh, but the happiness and sweetness on her face will eclipse the flowers in her arms.

In my father-in-law's words, there is no law that only young people are allowed to celebrate their wedding anniversary, not old people.

After 20 years of marriage, my parents-in-law have not been smooth sailing, but my father-in-law has never been stingy with the preparation of a sense of ceremony.

I think even if there are some hard days, they must have many good memories.

It is also because of my father-in-law's sense of ceremony that the hearts of a large family slowly approached and finally closely linked.

More importantly, children who grow up with such a sense of love and ceremony will inherit their parents' happiness and happy attitude towards life.

My husband, who grew up in the atmosphere of the etiquette house, really knows how to love people better than I do, and is also better at discovering beauty from triviality than I am.

He will fry the early egg into the shape of loving you, find a container suitable for him for every dish, prepare a small gift for you every holiday, and hug you tightly when you need it.

A sense of ceremony will give you courage and make you face the disappointment of life stronger.

American psychologist william james put forward the principle of expression to the effect that when we smile, our mood will become cheerful, and when we frown, our mood will become depressed and unhappy.

This goes against our common sense. We smile not because we are happy, but because we smile, we will be happy.

We don't love because of ceremony, but because of love, there will be ceremony.
