Musing - Of fairness and contentment

In life you win some, you lose some.
Life's fair like that.
That's why I'm a fairly contented person.

I believe everyone get their fair share of ups and downs.
Many people who gripe about not having enough good things happening in their life are, in my opinion, being too myopic.
They do not recognise the good things around them and thus is unable to treasure what they really have; the good are often taken for granted whilst the bad are amplified.

Some may ask, if I am truely contented, why do I still hanker for more (better career, more money, etc)?
Well, my ideal of contentment is a bit different from what most people is familiar to.
To me, contentment is about being happy with what I have and being thankful that I have them.
