The main problem of being content constantly. - Bourbon Betty - 09-14-2015
It seems that if one is in a state of contentment for an extend period of time it is impossible to tell if someone is being serious in complements or incredibly full of hate.
Thoughts and feedback please. Does being happy for too long without any difficulty make you dislike people because they are, by their very definition, impossible to separate from one another and the boredom of an infinitely content universe drives you insane.

One man's boredom is another man's thrills. -Shrugs-

So being constantly content means you have to change men?

I don't think being content and being happy are the same thing to most people. Content to me is more passive and is like im cool with the way things are. I feel most humans are content with their life, but very few are actually happy. but thats just me.
also I believe an individual is not that happy if they dislike the majority of entities around em or if they are bored. i don't think boredom falls under the spectrum of happiness. i relate happiness to joy and being content to just being ok or average.

True, Joy and Happiness seem to be non relevant to the people around you, in that when you have Joy you are not connected to the people, so Joy can last infinitely, but to be content, that is, to be connected to the people around you in their reality and then being happy that they are who they are in their reality.
After a while you'll be so content with everything that all of the people melt into a meaningless puddle. While Joy will not cause this. Thats what I'm thinking of anyway. To be content through others will kill you through anger.

Indeed, "infinite inertia, also known as a black hole, makes one angry until one is no longer angry and the inertia of black hole vanishes."
Is infinite contentment and or infinite inertia the same as 6th density STS?

Why are you not connected to others when in joy? for me i feel most connected to others in joy, its normally one of the reason im feeling joyful. When i think of a good amount of my "joyful" experiences it is almost always with other people. other than that only contemplative or meditative experiences seem more joyful in solitude.
can you elaborate for my as to why when you have joy you are not connected to the people, but in content you are connected to the people? can you explain further on what you mean by being content through others ? can you help me in my understanding ?

I'm honestly not seeing the connection here. Being largely content with my life and my spiritual development hasn't taken away my ability to read people or interpret their actions in context of whatever is happening around them/us. But then again, I don't really suffer from boredom. I enjoy life for its own sake, and perceiving the differences between people and their approaches to life is part of that.
Everyone is on their own path, and seeing the world in their own ways, and we can always learn new things by looking at alternative ways of approaching problems in life.
