"Great love incurs great expense,
And great wealth incurs great fear,
But contentment comes at no cost."

--Tao Te Ching (albeit not a Buddhist text)

I think the Buddhist idea, nevertheless, is not to achieve happiness, which requires contrast, but contentment.

Could you be content with contentment? I personally admire those who are. I understand and respect those who are not.
