Friends are something that an average person needs. Humans are just made that way. But I think it's not correct to think that friends can fix everything, as well as that friends will stay in your life forever. Throughout life you will meet dozens of people and make many friends. But only one or two out of hundreds will be something you may call a "real friend". That's if you are lucky enough to meed someone with similar mindset and values that you have. People you call 'friends' will walk out of your life for different reasons (they may be insignificant or important) and will stay with you for different amounts of time. That's why I think that it's better if you put yourself/your life/feelings first most of the times when it comes to your friends. You can stay in a really good relationship with them even if you don't always put them first or give all of yourself into these relationships. Because each one of us have their own lifes to take care of. Those people who will want to stay with you and will understand you/love you - will stay. And those who don't - won't. Whatever you do for them. It depends on the mindset of the other party. Loving, helping, caring for your friends is great, but if you put them above other important things like yourself, then they will get used to it. And most people won't do the same for you or will try to use your love for their own emotional self-satisfaction. That's just how it is. So I think you just need to do everything in moderation and state values right in life.
What makes a person contented?
-
@barton hahhaa it depends. HAHAHA
-
@robinnotthehood yeah.. it is.. selfishness and greediness
-
@cjko punch them in the face!!😉
-
@cjko depends what mood they're in
-
@amaryllis that's brutal yet it makes sense.. haha
-
@come-in-3s really ? well, give some example
-
Simplicity
-
@MultiPersonality I absolutely agree.. simple person is always contented.
-
@cjko What helps to keep me content is my family and my friends. Knowing they are close to me gives me contentment..
-
The best thing would be to do something for that person.
for example, help that person when there are some troubles. -
@niks-niks that's nice to hear..
-
@Mr-Ghost help people who are in need.,
-
@MultiPersonality that's abosolutely right ! "Simplicity is the peak of beauty "
-
@cjko nothing can make a person contented ....don't we want new technology and when we got that don't we want to have more better technology....this is what life is...think about the standstillness of life if we stop desiring for more...
-
May be it's a road block in the path of being successful. As it'll always ask for more, so if you're happy in whatever that you've, you'll just stuck there. Simple
-
@reviewer_1 do you think it's really impossible to achieve contentment? We can actually do it if we want to
-
@Amar-Parsekar hmmmm you got the point there.. well, it's really up to people
-
@cjko I am not denying the fact that it is possible to be contented .But I was trying to put forward a new concept of contentment.....
Yes I agree that contented people are always happy but eventually our life is not a short journey .we may get bore in what we have☺
Suppose I am having a iPhone 6 if I am satisfied I can have that for my life but if I am not I may upgrade to the next to iPhone 7😂
In field of industrialisation if one was contented to have a bulb ,they would never have invented the LED ,if one was contented to have a computer we might be using the old model of computer which took the electricity of entire city while starting.....☺
I think the graph of contentment should not be a constant graph but a increasing, decreasing or fluctuating graph
-
@reviewer_1 hmm you made me ponder heavy thoughts about this. Haha yeah , well .. it's really depends on the person.. some people were just contended of the simple things in life but they were still happier than those people living in a fortune

@cjko "comparison is the thief of all joy" - I can't remember
