I would like to consider contentment as self satisfaction of reaching capacity, If you keep on desiring for things which you do not have, you ca not get contentment. If you are satisfied with what you have is real contentment.
I really liked the thought. I had never read the definition of contentment that way before. One is hardly patient when one is waiting for something to happen or materialize. But the one who is content, is a patient man. Great thought!
