Contentment is healthy when it is unconditional, as God would have it. And there's something to be said of the saying, "It's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all." There's also another saying, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." We must attempt it, and with God, we can love ...and it will never be lost. But, it's different with the various definitions that we use to cheapen love. And without God's version of contentment, we often think we have it until we are adversely affected ...losing it if it impacts us instead of others.

Within the familiarity of so-called advanced societies, we have Presidents and Prime Ministers ...and we look at Kingdoms and Dynasties within books and various forms of entertainment, primarily movies.  We allow our imaginations to accept how things once were with warriors and castles ...not really questioning why, or how we've come to take for granted the advancement of our local police and standard American neighborhoods.

"High society' seldom concerns itself with what might be going on in other parts of the world.  But, the fact is, though some societies are quite advanced, others are still struggling to emerge to pre-eminence ...and still others don't really care, as long as their personal strivings are met with some degree of satisfaction.

Of course, what we mean by 'advancement' can be disputed ...nevertheless, we will advance with this story.
