not really my point.
The statement is interesting however but it has the big problem of requiring a defintion for contentment.
But if we look at contentment as a concept, and we use your previous statments: "man has built a world that he is content with" and "man was not content with being man" it leads to the conclusion that man has reached the pinnacle of evolution for the species. Is this your overall point?
my argument is that man can not be content we strive for more both as a society and as an indivdual. The reason we cant be content is because every step we take towards that goal leads to more problems and possiblities in effect takeing us farther away.
