Are you satisfied with your current life situation?

Nope, I want to have a high paying job so that I could buy the things that I want.

right now, i want to embrace that fact, that i am satisfied with my current life situation. though there are still some missing, i am trying to make the most out of it. i don't want to make comparison to anyone else cause that would never be good for me, i want to be contented on what i have and what i can have. but it's not a fault to ask for more. besides i am living @ the present and not in the past now to anyone else. every human being is different from the rest. don't make comparison!

I think it's not always bad to be not satisfied with our current life situation that is if you act according to your need to better your life. If it's just whining and feeling depressed but you don't act and do something about your needs, that's the bad thing about it. It should lead you to make actions to progress your life. For example, you are sad because you don't have that much money compared to your neighbors or some other people that you see, make yourself happy by working more to make money. But sometimes, acceptance is really the key. There are some things in life that is really not for us or should not be for us because it won't do good for us. For example, you do not realize that if you have that too much money, you don't spend quality time to your kids anymore because you just want to spend your money from gambling and social life, etcetera. So just be contented to live a simple life.

My life can and will get better, but I am satisfied in general. I have a loving husband who is good to me and my kids, beautiful, healthy, and intelligent kids, and we have the things we need. I am the type to look toward the future and work to iomprove my family's situation, rather than sit around in envy of those who are better off financially. If there is one thing I know, it is that no matter hoow much better someone else seems to have it, we all have problems. My problems may avtually be less than that of someone else, so I am thakful for what I have and where I am.

I too think it is completely natural to compare yourself with others. Not always the smartest thing to do, but natural. If you constantly compare yourself with others you will never find happiness because no matter what, someone is always going to have it better than you. People can accomplish many good things in their lives but not be satisfied with it because someone else has got it better. I also think there is a problem with that kind of attitude because you never fully know how the person who has it better feels about themselves. They may seem happy but could be miserable and have many problems within themselves. I think this phenomenon is used a lot by marketers. They show images and movies of people looking more satisfied than you, so you will go out and buy there products, even when you don't need it and it brings you nothing. With all of the flaws of comparing yourself with others, if done in moderation I think it can push people to try harder in there lives. So there is an upside.

I think people always want something they couldn't have. And if they got them, they would want more. We always want to move in ranks,levels, etc. We use other people as our standards. Thus, competition and envy exist.

Yes I am. It could always be better but it has been a lot better than before. We have been immensely blessed last year.
