RE: Why You Are Sick

in #health8 years ago

image ![image] see content to be satisfied with the quality but want for more. Look up happy and it is to be satisfied with both the quantity and quality without the want of more. Contentment is on the bottom rung of the happy meter. If you were to rate your happy one to ten it would be 1 for content and 10 for bliss. The words are not interchangeable. They have very different meanings. I don't want to be content in life... because that's to be in the lowest optimum of joyous living. Good wishes for you sent. Think of sadness we have the blues, Ruts, depression, deep depression, and suicide. If you say someone that committed suicide had a mere case of the blues you would be wrong. Same applies to the otherside of the matrix: to say someone that is in a state of contentment is blissfully happy is wrong. Contentment=euphoria I think not. Best day to you.

Okay. Now I understand the problem. You are essentially using a different word, although it is spelled in the same manner.

The word content, within the context I used it in my article, was an adjective. This adjective means a state of peaceful happiness, which if anything is even better than happiness in itself.

You are referring to the verb content. That's a completely different word with an entirely different meaning. That word means, "to settle for less," to put it in simple terms.

It's like if you went to a bar and wanted some Jack Daniel's, but the bartender told you there is none left. You would then content yourself by ordering a Captain Morgan's instead. You're happy with it, but it's not what you initially wanted.

I hope this clarifies things.

Edit: I just read the end of your comment and I must inform you, that once again you are incorrect.

to say someone that is in a state of contentment is blissfully happy is wrong.

The word contentment is tied to the noun content, not the verb, and thus, it means exactly what you think it does not.
