The sixth of February

Contentment arises from a peaceful heart and a tranquil mind*

We already talked about contentment in relation to self-esteem, on the sixth of January. I'm not sure how much more I can say about contentment. I suppose it is related to a peaceful heart and a tranquil mind, but I'm not convinced that it's a result of them. I'm more inclined to think it's a cause of them, or perhaps the same thing as them. Regardless of all that, if you aim for a peaceful heart and a tranquil mind in an attempt to become content, I don't think you'll find you've reduced the problem to something easier to achieve.
