Content..

People often say that they want to be contented or that they should be contented with what they have

i believe that the answer lies in the way you seek satisfaction. Everyone seeks satisfaction in some way, some work for off, some work for promotion, others for money or other reasons.

For example, you say you want to be contented with, lets say, your relationship. then what is it that you gain your satisfaction from ?? is it that you possess them ?? is it that there is happiness when they buy you things ?? Is it that you have someone to bring you out ?? or is it that they are there in your heart to share your life no matter what happens ??

A monk can gain satisfaction through mediation cos he believes that he has make a connection to his soul and cleansed it. People go to church and pray, they feel satisfied cos they believe that they had made a connection to god.

think about it..
what do you gain satisfaction from ??
is it really the right way ??
