Are we ever really content? Even if we were to increase our own happiness, we would still live in a world where, outside our walls, the suffering persists. Could we really, perfectly be happy, knowing?
If the answer is no, then to be happy, we must pass through hell with the rest of them.
- jackstraw14 8y agoThere are fleeting states of being content that do actually happen. It's up to each person in their own way to find out (or ignore) that those states are just a product of their imagination. What matters, is what you do when you've passed through hell and seen it for what it is.
- iforgotpassword 8y agoThis is why humans succeed. We're just never content, there's always something to complain about, to improve. It's always been that way, and it's always been the case that the vast majority left it at complaining and the actual change or progress was initiated by a few individuals.
