welfare, happiness
祉 centers on well-being and good fortune: welfare, happiness, and the blessings that make life secure and content.
祉 combines 示 (altar, divine) with 止, which likely contributes the sound and may suggest the idea of stopping at a place of blessing or well-being.
The altar radical 礻 on the left suggests divine favor, and 止 on the right looks like a person standing still. Imagine someone pausing at a shrine to receive blessings of welfare and happiness.
For シ, picture a scene of happiness: a child saying 'She!' while pointing at a welfare center. 'She' -> シ, and the joy of receiving help brings happiness.
