Content. During the last few months I have been thinking about the meaning of this word/state of being. I am not saying I am somehow discontent, I would say I am content in most areas of my life, nevertheless I am thinking about this attitude of patience. Intuitively I think feeling of discontent is negative so logically feeling of content should be the positive one. But it is always true? Isn´t it possible that long term feeling of content is a trap to the stagnation?
I would say it can be very easily, that is why it is good to clarify, when the feeling of discontent is a good sigh and when the bad one. It is probably not possible to define it generally, anyway I think discontent people are not famous, you do not spend much time with someone who is complaining all the time. On the other hand I do not like people who are always content, then I am telling to myself a little of discontent can move them somewhere further.
But then there is discontent what I am discovering in myself and it is connected with impatience. I think impatience cannot be ever positive. At least because bible is telling us to be patient. I wonder if really patient person is also content. To me, it would make sense, cause someone who is not forcing himself/herself to be patient but really is, he/she have to be content, just sigh of discontent would mean he/she is impatient. Hmm and I thought I am patient person :D :D
