What's the difference? Aren't they the same?

Contentness and happiness are neutral and positive respectively.

>>39279658
strive for happiness so when you fail you will content
if you strive for being content when you fail you will be sad

Happiness is an orientation, so it requires close bonds with people, and a degree of delusion
But most people are ultimately abusive and unaware, but they forgive each other and decend into mad denial.
Content, and being able to enjoy yourself, are both reasonable and practical zen state of minds.

You are the universe, that's my input.

I feel like even that is unobtainable for me right now.

Anything that makes a difference is just a bonus.
