More and more, I have seen the relationship casualties because of the lack of contentment of one or both parties.

As a society, we have progressively become more and more materialistic in our approach to life and relationships. "The get rich or die trying" mantra has corrupted many relationships with great potential and compatibility. Why?

The truth is, many of us are simply not content enough to recognize a beautiful soul standing in front of us because we lust for materialism.
Seek character, not money. Be attracted to their vision, not their car. Never sacrifice a good person on the altar of materialism. Money can go as quickly as the morning dew, but character and compatibility remain forever.

So next time your rejection of a person is based on materialism, stop, think:

"Am I rejecting a good person because of my inner lack of contentment?"

Contentment in life is the surest key to lasting happiness.

From now on, choose wisely. Give character and compatibility a chance. Do not throw out all rationale because of materialism.

Self-contentment is a great gain!

So which one will you pick Materialism or Contentment?

I will pick both. Don't be contented with what you have, humans cant be contented that is the nature of humans. Dangote still dey find money. At the same time Don't do crime all in the name of finding material things but strive to get it oo. Na one life dey

Self entitled mentality is what's is making us remain where we are. When a family member will refused to work just because his brother is rich.

When our ladies have seen relationship as a job opportunity when they are not disabled

I got entangled to a very laid back person.
I wasn't contented so I dished a breakfast because I was losing my life in a very bad way.

You may call it whatever me am gone gone gone

Contentment is a blessing...is a virtual and is one of the key to massive SUCCESS in as much as everyone is striving to make it our quest for money or materialistic stuff shouldn’t make us bargains with the devil 😈

Contentment brother,take your eyes 👀 away from what isn’t your...keep blood 🩸 away from your hustle.

As my mama use to say to me...Comot your eye 👁 for another man salary.

Modified:your will never 👎 be contented if you want to live better than your neighbors...Na ME and ME...if you like Dey drink bottle water 💦 in as much I Dey see money buy my own tap water 💦 am alway grateful.

You are right with your opinion but it's totally out of op's point of view concerning relationship.....

He didn't say don't look for money.....he said don't lose a beautiful soul or compatibility cos of material things....he further added that contentment brings long lasting happiness in a promising relationship

Exactly that's actually the real meaning of contentment, the truth is everyone wants to be rich and that's not a bad thing but if you're not satisfied with what you have and want what others have that's where the problem comes in

At the end of the day seek character not money because when the money is gone what will you have left? You don't need to marry a billionaire to be content

He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature. Socrates

1. Contentment is a hoax!

Human needs are insatiable. Within each of us is a bottomless ditch. We can never reach a point where we'll become satisfied. Not possible. The best is to talk about contentment so that we will not fall into the temptation of greed.

2. Meanwhile, we can survive like our ancestors in ancient times without any of the modernity around us. Yet, we are all congealed to modernity while preaching contentment.

3. The animals in the wild still maintain their instincts because little changes have happened to their environment compared to man. This has created an evolutionary disequilibrium for the Homo sapiens especially - our environmental advancement is at a faster rate than our evolved psyche.

4. Lack of contentment is what has driven civilization to this moment. If contentment was ever possible there will be a total absence of growth and development.

5. When you are poor, you want any amount of money. When you have a job that gives you money, you want to become rich. When you become rich, you want to be classified as the richest in society. When you have been classified, you want to maintain the riches and wealth. The loop can't end.

6. It takes a subset of outliers who are enlightened not to judge people based on their material values. People must first be weighed based on their character, personality, principles, and beliefs.

But based on convention, we judge people by the material things we see around them. We judge people by their looks.

7. It takes extra responsibility to stir the top and go deeper to ascertain the composition of any person; it is a duty the average person is not suited for and can make many mistakes. Because he wants to be the judge and has character flaws.

8. Men will judge women based on their physique. At the surface and instinctually, no man cares about character. If a woman is beautiful, she's a good bet and can reproduce quality children.

Similarly, women don't care about the character of a man, if he's rich, he's a good bet and can take care of her and her children.

Virtues and vices are only considered after this first approach.

9. It is expedient that intended couples must pass through a phase called dating so that they can scrutinize themselves from the internal to the external, and from the external to the internal. However, if both or any are stunted in what he/she demands, wrong choices will be made.

10. It is only after this assessment that both can remain in unison despite the storms and darkness that threaten their relationship.

Left for the normal couples: the husband will jettison the wife when she loses her beauty and youth, and the wife will jettison her husband when he becomes poor.

11. At particular intervals, we will enjoy what we have and find joy in it. When something better crosses our paths, it becomes the new butterfly we chase around.

Only when we're unable to get our desires (as a result of weakness or limitation) can will be truly "contented".

Thanks.

These things may be innate. I don't know if contentment can be taught though. I've always been pretty content.

Even when I can afford very flashy things like my friends, I am always happy with whatever catches my fancy as long as it makes me happy, from women to cars to clothes.

I never really have an iota of envy in me. I don't dwell much on people's successes or failures, I just shrug and move on. I only focus on my set goals.

Anyways, I don't know if contentment also means mediocrity but I'm happy that I'm a content being. Gives me so much peace and makes me sleep better.
