I think that being happy is something you feel deep down and lasts a long long time. Being content to me is more of a temporary thing and fades with time. Hope this helps....

Being completely caught in a fastened emotional state, be it chuffed, unhappy, offended, despite, could be reason for in seek of psychiatric help - or according to hazard a demonstration of drug abuse. no one is chuffed all of the time - no one's going to be chuffed if their puppy canine dies, etc. Contentment on the different hand is a state of being, so could be everlasting or a minimum of long term. fairly, despite issues might have come alongside, you will proceed to be content cloth with existence universal. the comparable applies any incorrect way. purely think of of ways in many situations we pay attention of persons having money, repute, skill, etc, yet in no way being happy. i'm additionally somewhat worried which you seem to affiliate happiness so strongly with ambition. somewhat ambition is a magnificent difficulty, yet you will have too lots, using fact the asserting is going.

Being content just means that you settled. Being happy is like getting a green balloon on a sad day, and it makes you the happiest person alive, with just a simple green balloon...
