The content of your heart is what your heart contains.

Are you content? Same spelling, different meaning.

We distinguish these words only by the syllable we stress.

Words are amazing, don’t you think?

If you are content, (satisfied, happy, at peace,) it is because of the content of your heart. If the content of your heart is anxiety, fear, envy and anger, it is difficult to be content.

Who determines the content of your heart? Is it you?

We can assume, I think, that the content of your heart will be whatever you have chosen to put in it.

What have you put in it? Is there anything in there you might want to take out?

Sadly, our success-driven culture considers a person who is content to be somehow deficient. We are supposed to be driven, never satisfied, always fighting for more, for better, for higher, am I right?

But the golden carrot that is dangled before our donkey eyes is that we might someday be content.

Oh, what a cruel master is that bastard with his carrot and his stick!

Wait, the bastard is me.

Random Quote:

“

Over the past half-century we’ve split the atom.

We’ve spliced the gene and we’ve roamed Tranquility Base.

We’ve reached for the stars and never have we been closer to having them in our grasp.

New science, new technology is making the difference between life and death and so we need a national commitment equal to this unparalleled moment of possibility.

And so I announce to you tonight that I will bring the full resources of the Federal Government and the full reach of my office to this fundamental goal:

We will cure cancer by the end of this decade.

“

- Sam Seaborn, a portion of the State of the Union speech that was cut from the final version. The West Wing, season 3, episode 12, "100,000 Airplanes."
