"Contentment gives real happiness. Happiness is a temporary "high", whereas contentment is a longer lasting, deeper feeling of satisfaction and gratitude for spiritual blessings and relationships."

Do you agree with this phrase? Please share with me your thoughts...

i totally agree. based on contentment you notice real fulfilling happiness. without contentment it may just last short for specific events, experiences.

it depends of the personal interpretation of the words. :D But I completly agree that contentment is the basis of a fulfilled live and that temporay highs shouldn't be mixed up with real happiness. But I personal don't have anything against some "highs" now and than.
