Then again they are also the source of much discontent. I think we were intended for contentedness in this life; I just think we so often look for it where it cannot be found...that would make it seem like it didn't exist, maybe. I love your input, it makes me think :) I agree Sharelle. in my experience contentment is found in relationships. Then again they are also the source of much discontent.

"surely, the thing that makes us unhappy is knowing what we are missing" I think relationships are the key to being content, material things tend to come and go or we take them for granted so we are left wanting ( that is why the children that live in squalor seem content/happy because all they have are each other ) I also know that we were created to be in relationship with God and that relationship was intended to be intimate and fullfilling and it is..... but why am I still left wanting and discontent from time to time....... Maybe..... cause I know what I am missing Maybe.....we were'nt created to find total contentment in this life Maybe I have just deleated my first paragraph and am starting again for the second time cause this is a very deep question Jamie.
