There is a saying "Show me a content man... and ill show you a failure" I do believe finding contentment in some aspects of life is good but Not being content is also a good thing, It drives SOME people to become better, set higher goals and work harder... where it is detrimental is when people take a negative view on things "I'm not content with my finical position/# of IPs I own....Its all too hard, i don't know what to do, all these other people have it easy because the grew up in this decade!" This viewpoint breeds resentment and unhappiness... Everything is about perception and state of mind!
