HAPPINESS OR CONTENTMENT
<span class="html-content"> <p>Which would you prefer? Would you rather be happy, or content? What even is the difference between the two? Happiness is more or less an experience, it is a state of emotional well-being that a person experiences when good things happen or an accomplishment is made. It manifests in joy, pride and even laughter, as well as positive thinking.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;Contentment, on the other hand, is a feeling accompanied by gratitude, peace and satisfaction. The difference between the two; is that contentment is long lasting, whereas happiness is not, it is fleeting.&nbsp;</p><p>When we chase happiness, over contentment, we most likely keep chasing it forever. Because what makes us 'happy' is ever evolving. There is always something better, newer and fresher. When we devout our time in the pursuit of these things to make us happy, we miss out on moments. Time goes by fast, without us making most of it. We do not acknowledge those all the little things that spice up our lives. The often tedious and continuous pursuit of happiness, ironically can make us unhappy.</p><p>But with contentment, we are appreciative of what we have. Where we were and where we are now. Gratitude is a good and peaceful feeling. Knowing that irrespective of everything else, what you have at the moment is enough for you. Contentment keeps us in check, it shields us from external peer pressure and social media 'oppression'. After all, it has been said that the pursuit of happiness often leads a man to do unspeakable things.</p><p>But the choice however is yours; Happiness or Contentment. Which would you prefer.</p> </span>
