Discontent

The common fault of most people is discontent which in some way is good to make the progress of society. Many new things in the world have been created by those who are discontent in their life.
But in our reality, we should be content with what we have. We can only have a happy life if we are content which is the basic principle of happiness. We cannot be happy if we have a character of greedy. The greedy means that we need more and more and we shall never satisfy with what we have gained until one day disaster falls upon us due to our unlimited greedy.
For example, if you are so much interested in pursuit of wealth and by your luck and hard work, you have achieved your wealth as you wish. But you do not have a heart of content and you plan to have more and more. And may be one day your luck will be gone and you lose what you have gained. Such example are frequent in the human society.
Unless you chase your knowledge, which is indeed the more the better. But, in other fields, you had better to form an idea of a limit and when the limit comes, you must use your wisdom to decide what way you will go forward. If you are young, forward way is acceptable but for old age people, it is better to be content to stop your needs from the human world.
