Went to Citos today, had some food and beer. And what kind of trip to the mall for junk food and beer would be complete without some insightful contemplation?

What is contentment? Nowadays, everyone is talking about how the secret of happiness is contentment and being happy with how you are in the present. Is contentment something you reach for or just is it just the act of making peace with what you have? If it's something you reach for, where do you draw the line? If it's simply being happy with what you have, then why desire anything? Why try? Why even bother with self-improvement?

Ah yes, the things you think about when you're at a mall.
