Contentment

Contentment simply means a state of being happy and satisfied with what one has. A contented person is not always going above the law to possess riches but satisfied with the one he/she is able to get.  Contentment  is a mental or emotional state of satisfaction drawn from being at ease in one’s situation, body and mind. Colloquially speaking, contentment is a state of having accepted one’s situation and is a form of happiness. Contentment means being satisfied with one’s possessions, status or situation, though they might be insignificant.

 A contented person is a one who realizes that contentment starts from the inside with a satisfied mind and a cheerful heart. A contented person is one who is satisfied with who they are, what they are and are not looking or demanding for more. In moral sciences, the word ‘contentment’ is used to mean the opposite of greed or excessive and rapacious desire. The trait of contentment causes man to suffice to the amount he needs and to avoid craving for more. In fact, contentment is a feeling of calm and active happiness. Somebody who is content does not feel the need to put forth any effort into achieving something because he or she is satisfied with his portion.  To learn more, click  here

Topic: Effects of Lack of Contentment

Introduction

Due to the quest for wealth, power, popularity etc many people in the society do things in the wrong ways and this has a negative impact on the society. Some of such negative ways include:

A. Corruption : This is a dishonest, illegal or immoral behaviour especially from someone with power.  Corruption  is a form of dishonest or unethical conduct by a person entrusted with a position of authority, often to acquire personal benefit.  Corruption  may include many activities including bribery and embezzlement, though it may also involve practices that are legal in many countries. Many people who are in position of authority misbehave by being dishonest. They enrich themselves through illegal ways. Money given to such people to do some projects for the public are converted to their personal use. They take advantage of the position to be involved in immoral relationship with the opposite sex.  Corruption destroys honesty among citizens. People reap where they have not sown. Immoral relationship becomes the order of the day. Corruption is a disease that ruins if not taken care of.  To learn more, click  here

Some of such bodies are those in government, immigration, custom, road safety, health inspectors etc A disciplined person must respect legitimate authority.

Respect for Rules and Regulations

Rules are official instructions that say how things must be done or what are allowed. Rules are also the ways of behaving that are accepted as right by most of the people in a given society. Some people do things the way they like and they have no respect for rules and regulations. They do things contrary to the acceptable way. They have no respect for the rules because they feel that they are occupying high positions and this gives them the opportunity to misbehave. Some others do so because they are rich and they believe that money ca take care of everything. Some other people feel that the Government and society at large have cheated them and they haven’t gained anything from the society hence the reason they flout the rules and regulations of society. Whatever the situation is, everyone must have respect for the rules and regulations of society.  To learn more, click  here

• Moral courage – The ability to choose to do what is right irrespective of pressure to do otherwise.

It takes moral courage for a disciplined person to resist the pressure from these wayward majority. 
• Spiritual courage – Courage to exhibit ones spiritual faith and live according to religious tenets. Fundamental human rights have given everyone the freedom to choose any religion.
