Absolutely.

I've never seen an uncomfortable looking ocean.

But I also think it's good to not be too content in everything. There are some things with which we should be discontent.

Yeah. But I think we're better off having contentment as a base from which to launch our efforts against that which we're discontented with (?)

Friends,
Contenment levels come when *WE ARE*.
When we know and understand that what is , is not myself but a part of the whole which is always Contented, then everything is acceptable.
