1316. Contentment is not good

Being content is to be avoided, whether it is money, materials or knowledge. The very purpose of human life is seeking. Unless your mind starts weakening, don’t look for contentment. Be unsatisfied with what you have achieved, and you will get greater bliss. The only time you should become relaxed and happy with what you have, is when your mind is unable to take any more stress. But don’t be lazy. If you want pleasure and meaning in life, keep looking for more.

But if you want to relax and simply enjoy life, become content. Be happy for the level what you have achieved, and don’t feel envy at others who have achieved more than you. Remember that they have either paid the price or will have to pay a much higher price later.
