TWO KINDS OF DISCONTENT
Emerson says:
"Discontent is the want of self-reliance; it is infirmity of will."
Another individual, at least as solemn if not as wise as Emerson, says:
"Discontent is the foundation of all human effort."
Both are right, for there are two kinds of discontent.
Almost everybody is afflicted with one kind of discontent or the other.
It would be well for you, Mr. Reader, to decide what kind of discontent afflicts you. If you have the wrong kind, hurry and get the other as fast as possible.
THE DISCONTENT THAT WHINES
This is the kind of discontent which Emerson refers to when he says that "discontent is the want of self-reliance."
