Which is which again?

               There are some things on this earth that you never know that it could make you happy. For example finish reading a book that has been in your shelf for around 5 years, eating breakfast around noon time (though that is not very healthy), playing games while half asleep, jotting down notes while thinking of what to eat later and all sorts of things. Though what is it that really makes us happy? Is it how we do it or what we do? Maybe it could be something unexplainable. It’s just a maybe…

               Well we usually do things that could make us happy provided that we were not forced to do it since that would typically result into us (the doer of the action) being pissed.
The most random things that we do are usually the ones that make us the happiest. If it is not random then it lies in our “likes” or preferences. True that each individual have different preferences and because of this disagreements erupt. Though that can be resolved and one of the ways is to use your happiness. Imagine two people are arguing on which channel to watch since you cannot stand the voices of the two arguing individuals you can opt to but in and suggest something. Your bright idea was to sing for them (arguing individuals) so that the arguing individuals would stop fighting, it just happens that you have a liking or passion for singing. So you sing; the two stop fighting and everything is back to “normal” again. What if you did not have a passion for singing? What you really wanted to use the television also, what to do? Now comes in the idea of contentment. 

               Generally people are not contented with what they have since they have a tendency to desire what is “missing” from them. Wanting something that is not within one’s grasp could be deadly and “helpful”. First it is deadly since the “drive” acquire that something is great that you (the one doing the action) can resort to using violence. Different accounts of these have been reported already such as robberies, gang fights etc. As for helpful being contented with what you, as opposed to what was said earlier, will usually result into lesser fights and competition. The less of the two aforementioned things, fights and competition, the more peaceful life one would have.

               Happiness and contentment typically go together since when you are happy you are contented. Though if one “concept” detracts from another that is where various problems, usually within the person himself, arise. Say you are happy but not really contented the reaction would be is that you would try to find the reason why it is so though it usually ends that you will not find the reason. Or the other way around, you are contented but not really happy, and usually the reason for such feeling is the course of actions you took to be on the current situation you are. There is not “absolute” solution if one “concept” detracts from another since this is normal. Though if the detraction happened at least try to understand first what is happening and take the, so called, right course of action.
