    How do you find contentment? How is one ever content? This question drives me crazy.

    Who wants to be content?

    To be content is to accept everything as is, and never desire progress. We are naturally evolving, and to be content would be to go against our nature.

    I suppose you could group being content with happiness, but I'd prefer to label it with uselessness.

    But to find contentment, you simply have to not desire anything, accept what you have, and where your life is going. :)

    Nice quadruple post Deacon.

    Anyway, to be content is essentially putting yourself in a state of laziness, for you desire no more than you already have, as Deacon said. It would be a standstill.

    However, if you still want contentment, you can A. Go comatose or B. Live naked in the woods, far away from any temptation. It's extremely difficult to become perfectly content, as there is always the temptation to buy something or want something else. It's also difficult to avoid this temptation in today's world.
