One of the greatest challenge of our human race is lack of contentment most especially in our youth. Trying to acquire more of anything is not bad if only u are using a resources or your resources as the case maybe to acquire what u want but when you want to acquire your desires but lack the resources to achieve the level of your desired outcome tends to lead to searching of other means possible beyond your capacity is purely lack of contentment. This resources can be monetary, power or orherwise. This has led to many of our youths doing things they ought not to do. Let's acquire what we want to acquire within the spheres of our capacity then we can grow it into a larger atmosphere.

This is because of technology and social media we are influenced by people on social media that we need to acquire these new gadgets and materials things for fulfillment, the world is highly commercialized and materialized that you are always challenged to get these things for you to become part of the new generation.
So contentment has become out of our vocabulary and way of life, we only practice contentment when we become mature and learn what matters in life.

When more and more people are losing touch with their spirituality, they tend to be more greedy and would focus more on gaining material things thinking that they can give them the contentment all of us are looking for. Contentment is something that is subjective and it varies from one person to another but I would just describe it as happiness. When you are happy, it does not matter if you have many things at your disposal or you lack many things and you are still working for them. Now, it should be emphasized that contentment does not mean we have to be lazy but it means that we appreciate the things we have and we are using them for our benefit and the people we love dearly. There is always a big satisfaction when we share what we have with our family and with our community as giving is an act of love. We should be working hard but must never lose the right perspective in life that material things are made for us and we are not made for material things. In summary, life is all about knowing what are your priorities.

Not only in our youths but in human generally. The old politicians are also like that, and that is why they are corrupt and allow the citizens to live in poverty why they steal the country's funds because of lack of Contentment. Adults go ahead to do all sort of evil just to gain their selfish ambitions. Contentment is a virtue, because who ever is contented with what he has will live an upright, honest and humble life. Will I say that in our world today, only teachers are contented with their paycheck.

I don't see anything bad when someone push for more success, there is no resting about success in life that's why even the rich men continue to struggle for more ways to get money, there is nothing wrong if you push for more too but where I called a stop is when you don't know when to stop in some juncture and you are determine to make it all cost, this is when you see people do desperate things to get some things.
It's because of desperate and peer pressures that makes us to do something that are not warrant today, we now have high number of scam and cyber crime all over the internet for desperation to make money.

when a person is like a material girl. he will never be content. People who look into his inside being are usually the content ones.

You are absolutely correct, because of lack of contentment, it has really made most of our youths today involved themselves in most of the illegal activities like stealing, kidnapping etc, that is why we should be satisfied with whatever thing we have, even our work we should be okay with it, if we are not comfortable or okay with our salary, we can as well get a side hustle like working online such as this Altcoins etc

Most are looking for money and will try to achieve it by any means these days. Look at all the crypto scams that have happened the past 10 years, the amount of robberies all across the world daily, the amount of people who launder money, and many other countless crimes that are committed daily.
It's just a sad world that we live in these days.

And if it weren't for this we would still be gathering fruits and using sticks to fish ants out of their hills like primates do!
The constant need for something better that would give more satisfaction than what we have now is what drove human civilization, returning to some hippie narrative about being happy with what you have and not putting effort into having this would be the doom of our world!
Bitcoin was born exactly like this, everything around us is a product of our desire, that's how it has been and this is how it will be!

Necessity pushes people to invent.
Greed drives people to take.
Contentment is far more complex. Many think you get fat and lazy if you are content. I say in order to stay content you need to do a lot of work at it.

There has to be some kind of balance surely because being too contented is a problem just as being not contented. if you become too contented with your situation you may never grow or become better, you will become too comfortable and your comfort zone will suffocate you.
Individually we should learn to strike the balance, so we do not become the author of our own doom.

Nowadays contentment view is promoted as don't worry be happy don't push yourself cause if you spend too much energy you're labeled either as a workaholic or a greedy person, I under being happy about something and do not strive to gain or earn of acquire or whatever more but that only if you have made some progress till then, but if you have nothing and start bragging how happy you are by having nothing, that's hippie material!

The thing is we are each different, the balance is also different so telling someone not to be like that on completely different criteria is pretty bad, just as an example, there is a different level of finacial happiness for someone with 3 kids in Europe, someone with no kids in Japan and somebody with 8 kids in a place not yet labeled by google!

Life is a process and as long as you're not idle, you'll always make progress. The problem with lots of people is wanting to skip the due processes required to arrive at a particular level, which is totally wrong, because sometimes shortcuts can get you into lots of trouble or into making lots of wrong decisions that you'll probably regret later.
As long as one isn't idle, all you need is time to get results, yeah getting an additional push or motivational boost isn't such a bad idea, but it should moderate else it could escalate to hasty decisions.

The dimensions of satisfaction for each person will clearly not be the same but certainly vary. There are those who feel satisfied because they can do something very easy, for example, being able to complete the work assigned to them, so that those who provide the work feel that what has been assigned to them can be completed well and those who do it experience satisfaction because they feel appreciated for what they do.
So all satisfaction can be adjusted to the situation of anyone taking action. It doesn't have to be the same as one another.

Contentment is the state of satisfaction and being happy with what you have right now. Being discontentment can lead people to be greedy and can lead to doing unacceptable things like crime just to get the thing that they want. If we remain to be content of something it can also be bad because it can lead to fear of changing where nothing grows and we don't get any better.
There are things to consider being content and not there should be balance in all things. the example we should not be content with who we are today so we strive to become a better version of ourselves without doing negative things and example of bringing content is with material possessions where we be content with what we have. there are many things to consider about contentment.

While it's true that the level and dimension of satisfaction may vary from person to person, it's important to always set your satisfaction to tally with your status, and this is what contentment is all about. Many people know fully well what their capacity and status is, yet still aspire and hunger for what they know fully well is beyond their capacity, which often leads to greed.
I'm not saying it's wrong to have big dreams, no, it's good to aspire for great things, but there's a big difference between aspiring for big things and wanting more than you ordinary should.

That's why I say that the level of satisfaction with one another will not be the same even though the meaning can be the same, namely satisfaction.
If the matter of my satisfaction is clear, if expressed, it is not certain that the level and similarity will be the same as someone else's level of satisfaction. The dimensions could be the same, but the levels could be different.
It's possible that what you say could happen, because satisfaction can make each person become greedy because the level of satisfaction he hopes for cannot be achieved with his expectations, but for him this could be a normal thing, maybe not for others.
It is difficult to describe each person's level of satisfaction, so it is also difficult for other people to understand and that is normal.

One of the greatest challenge of our human race is lack of contentment most especially in our youth.

Let's acquire what we want to acquire within the spheres of our capacity then we can grow it into a larger atmosphere.
The only thing that can be satisfying to us is death, everyone almost fall under this same shoe of exhibiting lack of being contempt in life, because we will always want to keep up with making pursuit in the race of life, though its not something that really bad because we need to strive more for perfection in life and for excellence but we shouldn't let lack of being satisfied get on us that we never realized to appreciate the little we've got and where we are.
-
The Pursuit of material success is a common phenomenon but sometimes this affects our balance in life.
It is important to re-evaluate values and seek a balance between material attainment and happiness.
One must ascertain the values of paramount importance in life and prioritize these values over material possessions and wealth. Enhanced knowledge can facilitate the identification of detrimental behaviors and assist in maintaining a focus on more meaningful pursuits.
So for the youth, I would say 'Trust the process'

Human wants are insatiable and limitless, the more you have, the more you still want and wish to acquire.
Sometimes in life, what we want may not really be what we need, all we need is contentment, a lot of people have all it takes to be comfortable in life, a wonderful source/s of income and every other thing it takes to be comfortable in life, but the crazy speed of always needing more. If they can only stop for a second and reminisce on who or what the wealth they so much desire are for, then they'll realize that they do not really need so many things they crave and long for.

You are right, lack of contentment has been the one destroying or kill humans, we are not satisfied with what we have, we want to have more when we don't even work for it, this is why most people especially the youth are engaging in this that will fetch them quick money, they are ready to take any risk or go any length just because they want to meet up or feel among with others, nobody wants to get money in an easy way, they always want more, that is why there jealousy, greediness, selfishness and all that. So let's try and work hard if truly we are not satisfied with what we have, by working hard, we will get what we want or live the lifestyle we want, also we will not be intimated by people who are living a luxury life.

While living in the world, what we are looking for is a life filled with material things so that we can provide satisfaction obtained from the materials we have. Without materials we have no ability to do anything, including managing other people in our lives. But I agree that balance is needed in everything we seek, as well as with material things, so we must balance it with a life that is not always worldly desires but can also provide satisfaction to our inner selves, by providing moral assistance with the material things we have.
I think with good knowledge we can balance inner and worldly satisfaction, so that everything can go well.

Re: Contentment
I guess this is one thing that people can get all throughout their lives... or at least most will.
Most people will never be contented with what they have because they want more. In terms of money, if a person said that he wants a million and he achieved it, in the future he will ask for more because he isn't contented in what he has. Sometimes, being contented with what you have makes you a better person, but sometimes, there are also times where being contented will make you miss some opportunities around you.
Overall, being contented is kind of a subjective thing because there might be some who are just maximizing the opportunities around them, but there are some who really aren't contented at all even though they have it all.

Self contentment and wanting more may not always be on the opposite sides, someone may need more but that doesn't mean he isn't contented with what he has. What I mean is that, the more people grow and advance in life, so does their needs (not wants) and their responsibilities, so the need to advance in their income level are justified and may not be seen as not being contented.
Let's assume a bachelor has a particular income level and he's very okay with what he earns because it's able to sort out his daily needs and also allows him to build up and emergency fund, just incase emergencies occurs in the future. Then he gets married and have kids, there'll definitely be need for him to increase his income level in order to be able to fit in and take care of his new responsibilities, he definitely needs more but that's also not being contented.

Most often, a person's dissatisfaction with what they have usually always concerns what they have, but it is not enough, and they always feel like they want more. The most correct thing, as you say, is "money", where even though you already have a lot of money and are considered enough, you still want to be able to do more than you already have, even though this dissatisfaction is expressed in actions that are expressed in clearly visible behavior.
With this act of dissatisfaction, you can turn back on oneself, because satisfaction always has limits and not everything will always be the same as one's wishes, but it can involve other individuals.

Agree with you because i don't look at other people wealth in leading life and lead life by spending money according to my own ability. I have a small business but i can't make it a big business overnight. even if i want to because it requires huge investment. I want to achieve my desires as much as possible within the realms of my abilities. It hits the youth society more because their demand is more than the capacity.

You are right, it is a matter of pride if we can stand on the abilities we have, not just looking at other people's abilities, but other people's successes that can be used as good examples of organizing our own lives.
Appreciation for your business, whether it starts from a small business, but because of the abilities you have, you will aim to become big in the future, according to the abilities you have, of course. Achieve your desires with the aim of becoming more successful and being an example for others.

To me there's nothing wrong with you being ambitious and trying to acquire thing's that are beyond your level because we as human being it's in our nature to be ambitious as human needs are unlimited, off course there's nothing wrong with you being contented with what you're doing or what you have but if you critically look into being content with what you have it's like you setting boundaries for yourself which is not too good. As human being am personally of the view of one being hungry for more

Contentment has its place, but wanting more keeps us moving forward and growing. There's a balance, though. Being content doesn’t mean we’re stuck it just means we’re grateful for what we have while still looking to achieve more.

Its something good that we should try to develop a discipline kind of lifestyle in whatsoever thing we do, we should also be contempted and avoid being an ingrate, at least we should try in all things to express an attitude of being contempted, some will even tell you that they are not ready to start small or even work hard by paying the needed efforts for them to achieve a better height.

i think there should be a balance between being content and being ambitious
i still think we should all at least try to get ourselves out of any bad situation we find ourselves in but if we already did everything we can and nothing good still came out of it then that is when we can say we need to just accept the situation and be grateful for the things we currently have
contentment and gratefulness are different from being complacent and doing the bare minimum

Contentment is the feeling of happiness and satisfaction with what someone has, without wishing or willing to have what someone else have. Materialistic things as divert a lot of citizens, that they are not satisfied with what they have and they are wishing for more and more. If you are not contented with what you have, you will be stress and you will lack peace of mind. It is very important for you to fulfill your financial responsibilities, and you need a good earning job or work to do that. So that doesn't guarantee you to be greedy, and involve yourself in unlawful act. Don't look toward someone else luxuries lifestyle, there is this saying "cut your coat according to your size" be contented and manage what you have at the particular time. More of it will definitely come if you are patient.

This isn’t far from the truth at all.
Some people simply claim they’re contented meanwhile in reality they’re actually just lazy, too lazy to do what it takes to upgrade themselves from that current situation to the next, and then they use being contented with what they’ve got as an excuse to avoid being tongue lashed. I see so many people mixing contentment with laziness and they feel it’s the same thing.
Yes there are situations where people expect you to go the extra mile or do something you’re not supposed in order to upgrade your current situation or get out of a particular situation which you know too well you’ve already done your best all to no avail, then at that point you may claim to be contented and ok with the situation, And not when you’ve not even tried anything at all.

It's just a sad world that we live in these days.
The fact is people are no longer pleased with the level that They find themselves today that's why we are seeing the decline in the moral standard of people which has lead to them not being content with what they have, contentment is a rear value that can hardly be seen in our society today this is basically caused by the environment or society that we find our self today because society has turned a blind eye to evil and has started celebrating mediocrity and laziness if someone who is a known criminal go and steal and make money over night every one will celebrate him so over time every one has come to that realization that they need to make money and be celebrated so they can do anything just to make money
