Question from the Internet:

“What are the major obstacle to finding contentment?”

The greatest obstacle of finding contentment is that we try to find it in ourselves, by constantly, selfishly, fulfilling ourselves.

Our personal, subjective vessels are very limited and distorted by our introverted egos, this is why the more we try to fulfill ourselves, the emptier and more depressed we get — as our modern society with available pleasures than even imagined demonstrates.

True contentment can be found only through the vessels, desires, needs of other people, when our qualitatively much higher contentment comes from unconditionally fulfilling them.

This is the same contentment that is present in Nature’s selfless, altruistic system that gives, nurtures life.

By acquiring such “nature-like" qualities through unique, mutually responsible, mutually complementing interconections, we can all find infinite and eternal fulfilment, contentment, as we all escape, rise above our inherently limited, distorted egoistic, subjective bubbles and their limitations of time and space.
