The Buddhists have a saying, “To know contentment is to be rich”.

Rich people seldom seem content.

It only took 70 years for me to learn this
so I’m doing ok.

I’m rich by the measure in both your posts.

The New Testament has a fella writing:

Philippians 4:11-13 (NIV)

11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
