Argumentation: Dalai Lama

       In his statement, Dalai Lama says to his audience that if you’re discontent you perpetually will not be satisfied in life. I disagree with Lama’s idea of being content. For some, it’s distinguished as an opposing objective. For some, it’s not. For someone who isn’t satisfied, they can strive for justification for not only their lives but others as well.

There are many people who want to strive for the better such as immigrants. Their determination on moving to a whole different country to ameliorate not only their lives but their families as well is a reason. If one was content with what they already have, they wouldn’t go way out of their way to move to a dissimilar, contemporary country. By being discontent, one might have something they want to achieve before they’re content within themselves. Even those who live in modern countries still struggle. Those who live off of poor and low pay strive and endeavor to finish school whether it’s high school or college to head into the right passage of success and opportunities. These goals of those who want to succeed in life not only benefit themselves but also their loved ones.

There must be a balance. Whether it’s with the good in the bad or bad in the good. One must go through discontent to reach their goals in life. If one was content at all times, no one in the world would have the determination to accomplish anything they desire to and continue on with the their lives. All progress in the world would stop, there would be no elite, all humanity would be the same.

Although some see discontentment as an opposing notion, it does have its benefits. One must go through and out blood, sweat, and tears to achieve anything they’d like. It arouses an undying determination in those who really want to better their lives.
