TOWARDS GLOBAL PEACE

In contrast, a person plagued by the psychology of discontentment will constantly suffer from a sense of deprivation. This feeling will continuously provoke them to seek what they have not attained. If they realize that they cannot acquire what they lack through peaceful means, they will try to obtain it through violent methods. They will consider all those who, in their view, obstruct their desires as enemies. They will hate those people, gather weapons to fight against them, even though all of this will be the result of their inability to be content with what God has given them—they have fallen victim to discontentment instead of embracing contentment. o True wealth lies in contentment and satisfaction with what one has, rather than in the accumulation of material goods. The path of contentment leads to inner peace, while discontentment leads to frustration, conflict, and ultimately, extremism.
