Private happiness is like a precious gem, show it off all day and you might lose it.

There is nothing wrong with her showing off a designer bag on social media when her boyfriend gives her a branded bag. But is that the right way to go?

There are people who brag about every happy thing that happens, every achievement they make, and every detail of how wonderful they love someone.

There are also people who are calm, moderate, even quite secretive. Those who are close to them know that they are very happy, even live a fulfilling life. But because they do not show it off, no one knows.

Is showing off happiness a good way?

I have a middle-aged friend who has been divorced once. He recently found a new love with a woman who has also been divorced. They love each other deeply, peacefully and ecstatically.

He shared with me: "Sir, at midnight, I was lying next to the person I love, holding his hand, feeling extremely happy. But I will not tell or brag about anything. I realize that anything related to happiness, if shown off, is easily lost."

He spoke from experience, not spirituality. Anyone who has experienced love and marriage will see that the most special thing about happiness in love is privacy.

The happiness of a couple, especially those who have become husband and wife and live together, is very precious.

For those who have experienced it, they feel precious and cherish it like holding a precious gem in their hand, holding it and being afraid of losing it.

So when you hold the most precious gem of your life in your hand, will you silently hold it or shout out loud "everyone, I have this very precious gem?". Surely, if you feel the gem is very precious, you will silently enjoy your luck, "even if you are happy, you won't shout out".

The man who experienced loss and suffering suddenly found his happiness, found the person he loved, held her hand in the middle of the night and felt overwhelmed with happiness, that's why he didn't want to "show off".

So when you have a big or small happiness, should you show it off?

When I'm happy, I show off. When I'm happy, I show off. It doesn't hurt anyone, right? When I'm happy, I show off so everyone can share my joy.

It is true that outwardly, showing off gifts, joy, and happiness is legitimate. Because it does not harm anyone.

Civilized people will celebrate with you. Uncivilized people will envy you. It’s okay, everyone knows how happy you are. It’s not wrong. But it’s not good.

Happiness is not something for others to comment on

An expensive gift is the effort of the husband or lover. The recipient needs to subtly show appreciation.

There is a way that is both right and good, that is not to show off happiness.

Imagine, you were given an LV bag, you didn't show it off to anyone, but in your heart you were very grateful and thankful to the guy who indulged you.

You subtly tell the guy that you really appreciate this gift and are grateful to him, but next time he should not try to buy such an expensive gift. That way, we will be financially secure and it will be easier for us to have a long-lasting happiness together.

"I really like it and I will use this bag often." The girl chose to enjoy her own happiness, not showing it off on social media to avoid receiving unnecessary comments.

The guy felt touched and appreciated his girlfriend's gentleness, "understanding" and delicacy in handling the gift. That also made the guy appreciate the girl more, because he knew that she was a thoughtful and thoughtful person, not like those shallow girls who "shout when happy". So they could be happy longer.

The young wife was given a car by her husband and felt extremely happy. But she did not show off, but privately shared with her husband that "I know, to have this gift, you worked very hard and got into debt. It will be harder for you to buy me a car, but you bought it because you love me."

That is, the young wife understands that the new car is not just all glitter, but also contains the hardship, effort, pressure, and sweat of the husband.

If we show it off loudly, it's just a car. If we don't show it off but silently show gratitude and silently work hard together, it's more meaningful, more cohesive, and happier and lasts longer.

Ultimately, flaunting happiness is a choice. You can flaunt it or not.

But, as I said, happiness is precious. It is like a precious gem, you have to cherish it, hold it with both hands and keep it tightly closed to feel secure in protecting it. And if it is truly precious to you, it is more reasonable to keep it to yourself than to show it to everyone. If you show it, you might lose it.

What do you think about showing off joy and happiness on social networks? In your opinion, should we keep our happiness to ourselves and our loved ones? Please share your views at tto@tuoitre.com.vn. Tuoi Tre Online thanks you.
