#Cheerfulness

[philosophybits]

How to act: Never under compulsion, out of selfishness, without forethought, with misgivings. Don't gussy up your thoughts. No surplus words or unnecessary actions... Cheerfulness. Without requiring other people's help. Or serenity supplied by others. To stand up straight — not straightened.

Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (3.5)

Mirth is like a flash of lightning, that breaks through a gloom of clouds, and glitters for a moment; cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity.

Joseph Addison

Untitled (for all my combative Friends from the US.)

And as an add-on here's a poem for you from one of my favorite German Singers/Songwriters:

Wolf Biermann.

Encouragement

You, don't let yourself become hardened

in these hard times

those that are too hard

break

Those who are all too pointed,

sting and break off immediately.

You, don't let yourself become bitter

in these bitter times

the rulers tremble

- with you're behind bars -

but not because of your suffering.

You, don't be frightened

in these frightening times

that's what they want to achieve

they want us to lay down our arms

before the great fight.

You, don't let yourself be used up

use your time

You can't hide

You need us and we need

your cheerfulness.

We don't want to be silent

in these silent times

the green is sprouting from the twigs

we want to show it to everyone

then they will know.

Translation by - yours truly...

The greatest man is he who chooses the right with the most invincible resolution; who resists the sorest temptation from within and without; who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully; who is calmest in storms, and most fearless under menaces and frowns; whose reliance on truth, on virtue, and on God is most unfaltering.

— Seneca the Younger

Singin’ in the Rain (Cinema music)

Famous Actor: The song that made Fred Astaire popular. In fact, when I saw him dancing so lively in the rain, I couldn't help but be surprised. This kind of cheerfulness is something that Japanese people cannot possess. Civilization gap?

雨に唄えば（映画音楽）

名優：フレッド・アステアの人気を決定付けた曲。実際、彼が雨のなかで溌剌と踊っている姿を見た時には、新鮮な驚きを禁じ得なかった。このような陽気さは、日本人には持ちえないものである。文明のギャップ？

“As the French writer Germaine de Staël pointed out at the beginning of the 19th century, when you take on a cheerful expression, no matter what the state of your soul, your cheerfulness moves into the self: ‘the facial expression penetrates, bit by bit, what one experiences.’ The interior of the self is changed by the power of cheer.”

— Timothy Hampton, Reasons to be Cheerful, aeon.co

[philosophybits]

Cheerfulness arises in people through moderation of enjoyment and due proportion in life. Deficiencies and excesses tend to change suddenly and give rise to large movements in the soul. Souls that undergo motions involving large intervals are neither steady nor cheerful.

Democritus, Fragments, B191

Joy is prayer. Joy is strength. Joy is love. Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls. God loves a cheerful giver. She gives most who gives with joy.
