A harvest of peace is produced from a seed of contentment – Proverb
“The
thing is most of us are never satisfied. We’re too busy running after the
things that we believe will fulfill us and forget that which we already have. You’ve
got to be happy with what you have”. These wise words were spoken to me by a
taxi driver as he drove me home from my friend’s house. Lately, some of the
most thought-provoking discussions on life, love, faith and everything in
between tend to happen in taxis, so this encounter was no exception. It was a
late, cold and wet night however and besides being exhausted, the only thing I longed
for was the comfort of my bed. I do not remember what prompted our
conversation, but the topic of contentment triggered a deep and meaningful
exchange that felt like it lasted longer than the 10 minutes journey ride home.
