Contentment.
<p><br/></p><p>In my field of study, priority is given to demand and supply as they are intertwined in the way of continued growth. Another aspect, aside from the frivolities, is contentment and satisfaction.</p><p><br/></p><p>Contentment is the ability to manage the resources at your disposal without an ulterior motive to take from another, while satisfaction, on the other hand, is the pleasant feeling of fulfillment you get when you achieve a goal, have a need met, or get what you wanted.</p><p><br/></p><p>Contentment doesn’t mean satisfaction, as it seems. Being contented has to do with being able to control the desire for pleasure, as desire can turn to greed and can lead to selfishness if not managed well.</p><p><br/></p><p>"the very concept of why more isn’t always better" </p><p><br/></p><p>In economics, we learn that utility is the total satisfaction, benefit, or value a consumer derives from consuming a good or service. This is simply to say that a certain commodity is enough to satisfy one individual, as the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility states that as a consumer consumes more and more units of a specific commodity, the satisfaction or utility derived from each additional unit decreases. That is, inasmuch as human wants are insatiable, they can be moderated to a state of comfortability.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let’s take marriage as an instance. As much as monogamy is used to control population, it is a form of contentment, as there is an option of polygamy—the "hack" of having as many women as one desires. This brings about the topic of self-regulation: to be able to manage the little at one’s disposal, regardless of what other people around him or her possess. </p><p><br/></p><p>It is self-regulation that stops one from indulging in theft or adhering to peer pressure. The plot thickens when self-regulation is given less than expected, as to whom much is given, more is expected. </p><p><br/></p><p>Unmoderated thoughts bring about great disaster. Simply put: contentment is different from satisfaction, but you can be satisfied with contentment and, at the same time, contented with satisfaction.</p>
