humans are greedy. your tv, your pc, your aircon, your car all come from human greed.
Contention does not mean u dun strive for the better, it simply mean in a simple way, seek what you want and dun over do it.
If one is capable, one can buy a jaguar and be contented
If one is not so capable, one can buy a Nissan and be contented too.
The problem is peoples compare, discriminate and stress each others, resulting in some who are not so capable finding themselves stress out in search of luxury materialistic goods to compare, to challenge, to feel proud and to satisfy his/her high self esteem egos.
Be contend and simple as where you are, if you wish to go further, ensure that you have the capability, otherwise you are asking for trouble, as the higher u climb, the more worst if you fall.
Rich or poor, we all shall perish.
