I really dont think mindfulness is possible without contentment. Discontent just leaves the mind so fractured and scattered and troubled and grabbing for more....with no ability to settle down. And that leaves us stuck in a way of being that just cant help but make messes and create trouble for both ourselves and others. And until we wake up to the reality that in this driven consumerist culture we live, that is built on the ideology of continued growth (acquisition, more than we need), and the myth of financial freedom (more makes you safe) and the greed it breeds, nothing will change. It never sleeps. It is constantly at work, 24-7, to keep you discontented. To continue to give your mind, and soul, and body over to it willingly is insanity and destructive in so many ways. Often times we are just left living in denial that this is what we are doing. Dancing with a beast.
