What does it take for us to be satisfied? Every person around the world wants to become satisfied, but what does it really take for us to be contented on what we have? Satisfaction is an act of being contented with what we have by not getting more than we should. It is an act of satisfying or state of being satisfied. Satisfaction is the fulfillment of desires to a certain object. “Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty” – Socrates (Ancient Greek Philosopher, 470 BC-399 BC).
Every person has the right to have the things he/ she wants but there is a certain limit to what we are supposed to get. I think that we can be truly happy when we are contented with ourselves. Many people around the world wants to be contented in life but some of us think that being contented isn’t enough that’s why they to get more than the others who are just happy with what they have. In Christianity Jesus taught us that “I came that everyone would have life, and have it in its fullest' Gospel of John 10:10. Another quote from the bible is that "Now godliness with contentment is great gain." from 1timothy 6:6.
What does it really take for us to be contented one of my opinions about this topic is that we should be happy with what we have and always keep it as that. People these days wants to have anything new around the world they think that it helps them keep up with the modern times with the new technology going around. Another quote that I think that is relevant to contentment is “ everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is right at his or her heels.” –Bertolt Brecht.
People only have one goal in life and that is to be happy and for me I think that the best way to be happy is to be contented with what you have nothing more nothing less. People need to learn that contentment is the greatest thing that they will ever realize and that it is all that they need to be happy in their lives.
In life every person differs from their lifestyle some people are born very rich coming from a rich family living like they don’t really have a problem in the world, getting the things that they want and going through life with ease, but is it enough to make them happy for me they have all the things that they will ever need even more but it doesn’t make their lives any happier they are somewhat programmed to want more things out of life without even realizing how hard it is to live through life.
Other people are born in the lifestyle in which people do not want to have with almost hardships and problems they have to endure they strive to get what they need and they are contented with what they get everyday. So I think living in this world is meaningless if we are not happy going through it so we must think that everything we have is just right and everything we do is for the sake of it once we realize that then we can truly be happy.
