Most often, we either want things that we don’t have, or we don’t want things we already have longing for better things. The pursuit of wanting more has no limits. The moment we acquire the desired thing, our tendency most often is to have some other more desirable things. Key to true happiness is to be content with what we have as once we fall into the endless pursuit of wanting more all the time, we fail to even enjoy what we have.

Why not appreciate the things we already have and be content and find happiness in that process?

Our tendency is always long for the favorable aspects and be averse to the unfavorable. But, in reality if we accept both aspects just as simply, most of the suffering will cease. Understanding this puts things in proper perspective.

1. Pleasant and Unpleasant (Pleasure and Pain)

2. Gain and Loss

3. Praise and Blame

4. Fame and Disrepute
