In order to be contented, it is not so simple as to compare yourself with Africans that have no food to eat. For all you know, the African is more contented than you are.
How is that possible? Contentment is everything to do with the mind and nothing to do with the stomach.
Singaporeans particularly would really find it difficult to find contentment because the underlying culture of Singapore is greed and material prosperity.
Even churches preaching prosperity can become a mega church and when the other churches see what is happening, there, they too will start to preach prosperity through Jesus Christ.
Singapore political leaders cannot resist and promote greed. They tell Singaporeans to be thankful and contented when their $2K salary has a 4% increase while they give themselves a 30% pay rise above their million dollars salaries.
It makes it much more difficult for the people to be contented when they see this type of behavior from their so-called leaders (so-called because they are dictators in disguised, not leaders.)
While it is difficult, it is not impossible to find contentment in Singapore.
What you need to do is to transform your mind but to transform your mind is for some people an impossibility.
They cannot transform their minds even when they are unhappy because they are
1. scared that they become even more unhappy
2. they are unsure what to do to transform their minds
3. when they go to religious leaders for help, they are sold irrational beliefs
My 2 cents worth. You now need to get the other $999,999.98 cents worth in order to find contentment. -
Nobody wants to discuss anything serious issit?

Warren Buffet and Bill Gates lead a thrifty lifestyle and are more contented than most of us in Singapore.

I'm now living without a handphone and I found myself no longer have the urge to buy cds anymore.That's the retribution for sexual indecent behaviours in day centre.

In the past, I always waste food.But till last year,my life seem to take a new turn. Last year, I started going to church with my friend and he started to change that make me depressed.And in the 2nd half of 2006,I went to eastern part of Singapore to work as a car-washer in petrol station .The job is very tiring . As the result , I fell sick.At that time , I felt very depressed at the loss of friendship.At 2007,I was met in a accident and was hospitlised.I have to endure 30 hours of fasting in hospital ward.From then on, I swear never to waste food anymore.
I have seen some photos of starving africans and I found them very pitiful.Seeing them suffering will break everyone 's hearts.That why's many spiritual teachers preach contentment to curb sufferings in this world.
I have to say that I still love my friend no matter what happens.
