The rare fettle of contentment is hard to achieve and maintain. Turn to the contentment of pigs for some examples of how it is a choice not a circumstance, an attitude not a pursuit
To want but little is the contentment of pigs. As you approach the sty a contented pig will rise to give glad tidings, “Come, we’ll share some turnips… I found some cool mud… It is a good day to die.”
