Contentment

Leafing through my multiply pages, I saw one contact talk about his discontentment about the things in his life, and that got me thinking:

What does it take for a human being to be contented?

It’s an innate trait in a human being to continue longing for things not within his grasp. We often tell ourselves that if we attain that certain goal, have that certain thing or be with certain people, we would be satisfied. These are the lies we tell ourselves. It will only be a matter of minutes before we start seeking greater heights.

For what reason do we hope? do we crave? I’d like to believe it’s because man wants to be happy… but is it really?

I don’t want to make a point. I simply want to ask for I’m quite baffled as well.
