i think people doesn't really feel contentment in life. because if he did, he will not do anything to become a better person. he would not have views in life. he would not grow. he would not even crave for simple things. its okay not to be contented, because your alive. for acie, your just happy with your simple life. but i don't think you are contented. hope you'll stay happy. =)

maybe some people don't get contented with their lives coz they are actually looking for something more...and striving hard to get what they want...and sometimes this leads to unpleasant situations if they fail to succeed, people become depressed and sad...its not bad to look for a better life...but i think, if you like to be real happy...we must learn how to be contented with the things and blessings we get...and be satisfied with what we have... i think life will be really happy and light if we can learn to be contented... but if you feel that you are happy in looking for more and more and don't get contented with anything, then go on and we respect your happiness! have a nice day tuliorowena... acie, i am happy for you and for people like us who knows how to appreciate things we have and be contented with it...this will surely can make our lives simple, happy and less complicated...

i am fairly happy with my life. i enjoy finding bargains when i need to get stuff. i enjoy my family and doing things with them like going to the park for a picnic. i would like to move into a flatter house and wish i wasnt in pain all the time, but i do like my life anyways.

I'm not contented with my situation right now. I know that we are still blessed because we have 3 meals a day and we have house to live on. What I don't contented about is I can't cure my illness. I stop hoping anymore that there is a cure for this illness. Sometimes I feel envy to those people who are healthy and have no problem in their life. If only I can be like them but sad to say I'm not. I'm still thanking God that they gave us better life now unlike before.

to be honest i would have to say i am not content with my life for many reasons. then i give myself a dose of reality and realize how lucky i am. i had parents who loved me and are still around (i am 48) and i have a wonderful son and we have a great relationship. we have a roof over our heads even though we are struggling to hold onto it and we have food on the table. even though there are things i would change in my life i have to be grateful for all that i have at this time because many are worse off than myself.

thats right.family cannot be replace by anything else.in times of your sorrow and problems,who will you lean on?who will you share your ups and downs?your family... right?God has blessed you with a beautiful family you may not have the leisure in life,but you have your family to share your everything.God never counts all His blessings that He has given to you,so lets all be contented.take care!

seems to me that you have a very nice life, despite all the things that you don't have, you are grateful with the things that you have... Eventhough I admit that I'm not too contented with my life (sometimes I think a lot about that, too much) but I just try to live it one day at a time. I remember my friend once told me, every time you think that your life s*cks, just remember about all those kids in Africa...! how about that??

Hello. To be honest, i'm not contented with my life right now. :c i think it's bad not be contented with what i have now. But it's not because of the leisure or material things that i'm not contented with. It's a problems that i hope we can solve soon. I know that everyone has a problem and problems are always there, though you solve the other, a new one comes. but if we can just fix these stuffs, then i think i can say that i'm contented with my life now though i knew that a new problem will come. Happy mylotting to you

hi wink...i think problems are spices in our lives...this should not let us down but instead it should help us to improve and learn... if we don't have a problem, we can not appreciate the beauty of life... in every problem, there's a solution and i hope that you will find a solution to your problems and be contented and satisfied with what you have, if you believe in God don't forget to call Him and ask for His help and guidance... have a good day!
