Contentment

Life is shades of black and white, where people dye themselves into grey.  Losing themselves into shades of gold and silver, thinking it would buy their life’s comforts and content. Contentment is neither bought nor sold, it is earned and shared. Our life is about people you love and care the most. The reason you woke up early and skipped your breakfast, hurry to catch the first bus and run to work, forgetting you are suffering from a headache since last night because you want to content the people around you. Our life has three things, Love, Time and Death. We run to and fro because we love someone, we hope we have enough time and we fear death. So we end up doing things to find content for the person we love in that short period of time before death arrives.

                         Contentment is feeling which is different to person to person. For someone, contentment is too full his stomach three times and for someone, it is showing off his billion worth lifestyle is content. Humans have feelings and they emerge their whole life into and around their emotions. Contentment is defined as the state of mind where a person’s psycho feels satisfied or happy for his present configurations. It is hard to content yourself with the lifeless things around you. A jewelry can bring a smile on your face and glitters in your eyes until something else sparks your beautiful lusty senses. When a child falls down, bleeds and cry like a toddler until his mother arrives and comforts him with her warmth that only the child could sense and protection. The care and protection is the real content which fades as we grow older. Emotions of human being are the only string that holds everyone together. Contentment means satisfaction, in the sense of love, care and protection from the people around you.

                        We live for the future, we plan for future, preparing for the future forgetting that we are missing the today, the real contentment lies in today. When your old parents say they are proud of you, whatever you have become and they are happy how you keep them, that’s contentment. When you look at your wife and she smiles at you because you made her life beautiful that’s contentment. The feeling of being together and safe with your sibling, the laugh and evening tea with you collogues. The smile of your daughter that you could feel in the morning when you wake up is contentment. When you could help someone in need without expecting in turn, that satisfaction is contentment. Contentment is the satisfaction in your head that when you sleep, the people you love and care the most will just beside you whenever you wake up. Understand the real contentment which you are overlooking to achieve something which won’t mean anything when you are just left with your holy soul and your body turns into ashes.
