The Vice of Contentment

It appears to me that contentment is considered to be a vice almost as terrible as being a person that believes in God. If one is content with what they have the economy may stumble and lead to a decline in the exploitation of limited resources and dangerous jobs in third world countries. If one is content you may have the time to think about something other than yourself (such as truth, beauty and what is moral). If you are content, maybe you would shut off the television and spend some time helping a neighbor. But the economy must thrive or we may not be able to see the latest Hollywood kitsch or we may be denied the new, cutting edge, electronic game.
