When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, 'Oh yes - I already have everything that I really need.'

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.
