"I only know what is enough to be content" is an idiom, which comes from "The Master said: I only know what is enough, am I not also content?" It means that I only know how to be satisfied, even if I have a lot of things , I can also be content. This sentence aims to tell people to be content with what they have, to be satisfied with their current life, and not to blindly pursue more, otherwise they will lose themselves.
Contentment is a virtue because it makes people more calm and positive. A contented person will not greedily pursue more, nor will he unrealistically demand a perfect life. On the contrary, they will be satisfied with their current life, enjoy everything in front of them, cherish everything they have more, and understand their attitude towards life.
“I am content with what I have” gives us the inspiration to cherish everything we have. When facing life, we should have a contented heart. Even if life is not perfect, we can still find the good side in it. The pursuit of wealth and fame can easily lead to troubles and dissatisfaction, but a contented mentality will give us more happiness and inner peace.
