The meaning of being CONTENTED

Is there ever such a thing to be CONTENTED? Could anyone really be CONTENTED?

The word is an adjective. It means, to be satisfied, gratified.
I think there are many of us in this world who are more easily CONTENTED than others.
Others refers to a classification of people who, are always scrambling for more because this lot, is not so easily gratified.

Being CONTENTED is one way of getting away with being a non-achiever.
Being CONTENTED is also one way of being thankful.

It's amazing that one adjective could give differential assumptions about the state of being.

Perhaps, how that affects us, is a reflection of our journey towards that state.

For those in the center lane of the traffic of life, it's cruising speed and we should just be glad.
For the slow movers in the left lane, it's the maximum they can travel at, so let's just be glad.
For the few in the overtaking lane, it's a word that they have left out of their dictionary, because there is always another car in front for them to overtake ; hence, they tend to keep on that overtaking lane for quite a bit.

CONTENTED is not a negative state to be in.
It's whether it works for you or not.

When my son used that word to describe his performance in the last exam, he realised that this mother doesn't have that word in her dictionary; simply because, this state never existed for her, making the word an illegitimate logic.

Not his fault.
it's just me.
