I like [x]. I dislike [the opposite of x].
I am content with [x]. I am not content with [the opposite of x].

I see the above attitude so much in my peers. Why can't people be content with what they deem negative as well as what they deem positive?


Some people are content with life, but they fear death.
Some enjoy the food they eat, but don't enjoy going to the bathroom.
Some say they think today was a good day, except for when it rained/snowed
Some don't like winter and prefer summer.
Some seek satisfaction in getting wasted, but are not satisfied with hangovers.



Should one be satisfied with the whole of a thing/all of a thing?

Is dissecting a particular thing healthy? Unhealthy [(un)healthy in relation to one's well being]? Contradictory?

Does content in a whole situation kill opinions/personal likes and dislikes?
