Before, I believe to be contented for what you have,yah, it's right. But, one of my friend answered me back, that if became contented how we will pursue to our dreams.I came to think of that and I realized she's right. But,I'm not saying that I'm not happy for what i have now.In fact,I appreciate everything I got or I have, but I'm not contented to be just like this. I have so many things that i want to do, dreams that i want to fulfill. So,although I'm happy now, I can say I'm not satisfied.

I am contented. No, I'm not.I am contented. No, I'm not.I am contented. No, I'm not.... I can't really say what I am. You know why? Because I feel contented, but not at all times. I feel unsatisfied for sometimes. Jeez.. How should I know... Well, I feel a little crazy... Because I don't know. Whether I'm satisfied or not... I will know it sooner or later. ^_^

Hello Mil4, just read your post and wanted to drop a line. It is good to be comtent or satisfied, while being in that state you should pursue all the things that you want to. Life is a growing process, who on earth wants to be on the same situation year, after year. Just look at it this way there are some people, who is so anxious to accomplish their dreams they go about all the wrong way, and end up really losing. My comment press toward the things you want nothing wrong with not being satisfied. popciclecold

Yah, you have a point. But not all people happy with their life especially to those who unfortunate to suffer because of the state of their life. I already opened this topic with some of my friends and even they are happy with their life, they can still say that they are not satisfied or contented.

Hey Mil4,There are so many people especially now who suffer because of their life' situation. Look at the economy, gas is up, causing food prices to go up. For the last 3 weeks we only work 3 days a week, and the supervisor look over the older ones to let her friends make time. Meanwhile my husband, acting a fool because he don't have money to buy a part for the lawnmower. My check is nearly a hundred dollars short. But I'm old enough to see where the job situation was headed, so went and got a part time job, already behind, but will get paid next week. Went from 40 hrs to 24. Husband mad because got partime job. Lot of bad storms in my area, people lost homes, a lot of damage, people without lights, some people hurt. Saying this to say, I'm not happy with my life's situation,but it could be so much worse. So yes I'd say I'm grateful,becasue a tree could have landed on my house. popciclecold

Im contented with what I have in that if nothing ever changed I would still be happy as I am now, that doesnt mean I dont have dreams that I want to pursue so for me its possible to have both.

I agree with you. I think it depends to the situation or what aspect we're talking about.
