#Contentment

Contentment is the artful pretense of peace that deftly defers the arrival of the next craving. Once acquired, we forget the very miracle we attained and wander off with fresh voids. Ultimate fulfillment is nothing but a fleeting mirage that can betray even oneself.

Happiness is the phantom stage mechanism that perpetually disguises our own lack. It peaks the moment the mind finds stillness, only to morph instantly into the next incentive for yearning. A fleeting smile at a roadside flower serves merely as the seedbed for tomorrow’s discontent. The more we debate substance vs. spirit, process vs. result, the more its essence wavers like mist, ultimately becoming a mirror that questions itself.
