Last 2 posts said it all – if no one is ever discontented, things will never get better, and things can always be better.
I know people who have the most horrible darn luck with everything and still manage to find things to be grateful for while seeking a way to improve their situation. And then there are others who always seem to be angry despite having everything reasonable that anyone could want.
Personally, I am content that I have sufficient financial resources, a job and a backup plan if I lose it, a family and some friends that are really close.
Despite some physical ills, I can still see, read, walk, type(!!), and enjoy life.
Some of “contentment” comes with age if you’re lucky. When you’re 20-something, you SHOULD have a certain amount of discontent. You need to get out there and change your life and your world; certainly a healthy young person does not want to remain dependent all her life.
