many believe that contentment comes from having what one needs, but I tend to disagree, I think it is about the attempt to make a life, even if failure is the result.
I think the key is realizing that to be content or to find contentment is to be satisfied. Your daughter looks satisfied just helping out. The simplicity in finding how to be content no matter what the surplus or lack of needs and wants is will be the trick. Learning how to find joy in the smallest things or how to appreciate the sorrow and suffering we all endure is where the change can come in. I believe it's truly all about perspective and how we as individuals influence our own thinking to learn how to be satisfied in any condition or circumstance. This will then tend to flow outward and establish a better connection with the world around us. Community was a great example to touch on and your example of finding contentment in the value here and perceiving the community as that true primary value in Hive seems to spill forward into how you approach and treat the community. I have always held a respect for the way you say what you mean and mean what you say.
By the way... what did you pops answer to what you said about the way folks are nowadays? I know that struggle with the language as my father in law is from Chile but now a Swede... so good thing this Texan figured out a little Swedish and knew a tiny sliver of Spanish. English is off the table with him. Hahahha Finnish is tough too.
Appreciation and gratitude are key to contentment.
People chase happiness, but it is fleeting, just like sadness. Being accepting of the current conditions doesn't mean not working to change them, more, I think it is the starting point of effective and sensitive change.
That sounds like an interesting accent :D
