WHAT DOES DISSATISFACTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

dissatisfaction

Contentment

Human Contentments, by Edgard Farasyn Contentment is the acknowledgement and satisfaction of reaching capacity. The level of capacity reached may be sought after, expected, desired, or simply predetermined as the level in which provides contentment. Contentment is synonymous with happiness but is more basic or prior to happiness that can be derived from outer achievement or self-improvement. For this reason, colloquially, contentment is simply a way of accepting one's life state and being grateful or happy with it. Many see contentment as an attitude towards situations. It may even be argued that this attitude of contentment leads to more positive outcomes as a result of the relaxation that goes with being contented. In a somewhat more mystical sense, contentment can be understood as an innate state before any intellectual judgement about life situations has entered into the picture. Perhaps this is why little children are generally happy until their intellectual powers - such as their ability to judge what is good from bad and being trained to hold onto concepts - begin to form and then their mental and emotional stresses begin to emerge.
