Somehow I agree with what you say. I believe it all starts with acceptance. Accept the situations, accept oneself. To be able to accept oneself, self-reflection is key. Many people can't self reflect, therefore I always urge someone to start doing this.
I do wonder if most criminals are criminals because of contentment. I believe (well it is not so much a believe, we have harder numbers for this) that most criminals are criminals because they are grown up in an environment of criminality. Sure, not for all it'll be like that, but for most, this is the case. Not so much to do with lack of contentment but more to do with the environment one is in.
Really you made a good point too. Thank you very much for sparing sometime to go through my post. Merry Christmas in advance.
