基督教幸福观讲座：损害幸福的渴望

This week's talk is on habits of human heart or life, some which promote flourishing (we call them virtues) and some of which diminish it (vices). Upon looking closely at virtues and vices, we can discover that they are based on one's understanding or belief in what constitutes one's final goodness, as well as how to reconcile one's profound longing for everlasting meaning and the vicissitudes of life that always undermine that longing. Here one can surprisingly find the place of God, hope, and the problem of sin in human quest for happiness.

"我的心情是坚固，我的决定是糊涂"
破除摧毁幸福的假寄托，认识挽回残局之真上帝
（讲员：戴永富）

这演讲的题目是来自那英《征服》的歌词；它能描述多人的实况：坚定不移追求梦想，却难免糊涂摧毁自己的幸福。之所以难免糊涂，因人有一种产生假寄托的心理机制。这寄托会蜕变成征服人的假上帝。根由是：人想获得无限的幸福，但世上挑战幸福的因素多得很。所以人忧惧而急于妥协：给意义有限的事物以无限的价值。这使人混淆真假幸福而饮鸩止渴。

这是为何实现幸福短不了一门艺术，即：如何做划算的投资，以无限幸福的源泉（上帝）为真寄托，因而不被里面的假寄托和外面的挑战所征服。但怎样倚靠无形的上帝？回答这问题会帮我们享福，避免落得像那英《征服》描写的那样："我的剧情已落幕，我的爱恨已入土...就这样被你征服，切断了所有退路"。
