I’m not sure if contentment comes with age, is part of our nature, or is shaped by the thoughts we cultivate from observing society around us.
Both Stoic and Hindu philosophies have emphasized contentment since their inception.
Unfortunately, the world we live in today teaches the opposite—urging us to accumulate more and more. Many families hoard as many clothes in their garages as they do in their wardrobes. The craving for more is never-ending.
We live with unmet desires until we reach the grave, never truly content with anything.
