Debating whether or not you should have a contented attitude in the world?

1. It does not advocate "contentment and happiness", that is, it does not advocate contentment with the material level, nor does it advocate contentment with the spiritual realm and personal cultivation.

2. Promoting "contentment" is detrimental to society.

If people are not satisfied with the status quo of society, they will improve social ills and make society more progressive. On the contrary, when content is achieved, society loses its source of progress and stagnates.

3 Promoting "contentment" is detrimental to the vast majority of individuals.

You can maintain your enterprising spirit and strive to move forward. Moreover, an individual's lack of "contentment" with his or her own work ability, learning level, moral sentiment, and spiritual cultivation can promote individuals to improve their own quality.

The other side may argue:

1 Narrowing down the concept. Advocate selective "contentment", that is, only talk about "contentment" in some aspects, and ignore and explain other aspects that should not be promoted.

2. Secretly change the debate question. Contentment is described as an optimistic attitude towards life, that is, after contentment, we will not give up the pursuit of things.

3. Blame the blame. Some intrigues and deceit in modern society are attributed to the fault of discontentment.

4 Imposing modifications. Impose modalities such as "moderation" and "selectivity" on contentment, and replace "promote contentment and contentment" with "promote moderation and selectivity".

Argument: 1 Point out that the other side narrows down the concept. From a comprehensive perspective, it is stated that modern society should not promote "contentment".

2 Clear definition. "Contentment" is to be satisfied with the status quo, to feel that it is enough, and naturally not to pursue anything further. And "knowing good" is to think that the status quo is good. But continuing to pursue is not contradictory to "knowing good".

3 Be clear about logic. Not being content does not mean that you have to intrigue and deceive. The pursuit of the application of legitimate means to promote healthy competition, for the above situation to apply the law to regulate competition, rather than "contentment" to stifle competition.

4. Point out that the other party imposes a modification of the subjective will, regardless of the actual effect of advocating. Blindly believing that society has an understanding of "contentment" that is in line with their subjective wishes.

I think the opposite side will equate "contentment and happiness" with "not thinking of progress", as a positive side, you must grasp a bottom line, that is: to achieve the highest state of contentment and happiness in continuous improvement. Being content is never the same as not wanting to make progress.

Debate tournament should have knowledge.

Summary. Dear, I'm happy to answer the question that the opponent of the contented debate tournament can ask: Discontentment is a kind of self-motivation that actively demands progress.

The spirit of continuous improvement, people are always looking for better things, and no one will feel that they have more money in their pockets. Always have a better and more comfortable life.

Dear, I'm glad to answer the question that the opposing side of the debate competition can ask: not being content is a kind of self-motivated heart that accompanies and actively asks for progress. The spirit of continuous improvement, people are always looking for better things, and no one will feel that they have more money in their pockets.

Always have a better and more comfortable life.

First of all, what is contentment, the structure of the object is taken apart to see the contentment, that is, the material and spiritual satisfaction when the "knowledge" is attached to the "foot", the two as a whole, and the "contentment" means to be content with the material and spiritual status quo, which is a state of balance. If we consider the two to be a little separate, and to think of "knowing" as a "transient xing verb", then "contentment" means knowing the limits of the pursuit of spiritual or material satisfaction, that is, the moment of reaching a state of equilibrium. To be not content is to deny both of these attitudes.

Let's begin with the first case, which is complete static contentment in the sense of being content with the material and spiritual status quo. In this case, standing in the positive position, it can be said that because there is no desire beyond reality, but can appreciate the joy of the moment and even the unexpected; From the position of the opposite, it can be said that because of the pervasiveness of the sense of scarcity, the existence of such an ideal state of contentment is questioned, and the blind pursuit of such values advocates actually suppresses Sun Blind's personal desires, and even produces pain as a result, leading to the fact that being uneasy about the status quo is the truth of life, and accepting the truth is more happier than self-deception. Turning to the second case, which is the definition of "contentment" as "knowing the limits of the pursuit of spiritual or material satisfaction", it acknowledges the sense of want and introduces the concept of "pursuit" in the first case.

The difference between this view and the corresponding "discontentment" is that for the same pursuit, there is an end to one trouser and no end to the other; One acknowledges limitations, the other struggles with limitations; One is "I have done everything I can" and the other is "I can do more". For the positive side, it is necessary to interpret this endless struggle as a kind of fatalistic burden as much as possible, and for the negative side, it is necessary to express it as a mission. In the third case, we just discussed "sufficiency", and now we turn to "knowing", that is, whether "contentment" as a cognitive ability can bring us more happiness.

For example, if there is a paradox that says that the only truth is that we can never obtain the truth (which is probably what it means), is it more pleasing to me to get a more satisfactory answer in the pursuit of truth, or is it more pleasing to keep trying (albeit futile) to get closer to the truth? You see, in the above three situations, whether you are content or unhappy at the bottom of Hu Kai's stove, you need to be based on certain dimensions and standards in order to have a tendency. It's important to find a standard that will be acceptable to most people.

Arguments: 1. Contentment is to be satisfied with the status quo, and satisfaction often leads to a lack of progress.

Therefore, advocating contentment and happiness will inevitably bring all kinds of drawbacks to modern society, and these drawbacks are very detrimental to the healthy development of modern society. Because of contentment, people are easy to be satisfied with the status quo, and they are not willing to forge ahead; Because of contentment, it is easy for people to give up hard work and hard work, and they lose the motivation to continue to climb the peak, and do not seek to improve.

Because of contentment, so content with the status quo, "contentment" in the attitude towards material enjoyment, is an excellent quality, in the sense of two, "not contented people are always happy" is a spirit worth advocating, in the cause of "not contented" is the philosophy of the strugglers, the portrayal of the pioneers, only people who are not satisfied with the status quo, will taste the joy of creation in the struggle, will enjoy the joy of success.

2. If you want to be happy in material life, you must be "not satisfied".

Imagine, if primitive people are so content with life, they can only stay at the level of drinking blood, slash-and-burn, and cave dwelling in the soil, what is the joy? If people are content with the status quo, oil lamps.

It will not be replaced by electric lights, folding fans.

It will not be fanned either.

Again, there will be no cars that replace animal power, life will not improve, society will stagnate, where will happiness come from? Where does human civilization and progress come from? It can be seen that those who are content are not always happy.

3. For the goal of life, it is even more unhappy for those who are not satisfied.

Gorky. It has been said: "The higher the goal a person pursues, the faster his talents will develop, and the more beneficial it will be to society."

A person who keeps making progress is never satisfied with work and study, so that he can continue to move forward and achieve achievements. And aren't these the basic conditions for a person to be really happy? The spirit of discontentment, this invisible driving force, promotes the progress of mankind, promotes the progress of civilization, promotes the development of society, and makes everyone who is not satisfied happy.

Those who are not satisfied are always happy, which does not mean that they are not sure of success, nor does it mean that people are insatiable for self-interest, but that they are not satisfied with their existing achievements and are not satisfied with their current relatives. Everything is constantly changing and developing, and if you are content without development, you will be eliminated.

Brother, first of all, I want to tell you that there can't be a question that can't be answered. No matter how difficult the problem is, there will be a way to solve it, just depending on the strength and level of the opponent. Let me think of a few questions for you, you can refer to them.

And is your debate topic just four words: "contentment and happiness"? You must know that this and the subtle debate implied to evoke auspiciousness imitate two meanings, one is "contentment can be long-lasting" and the other is the banquet "to know how to be happy enough". I guess the first one is a little more likely, so I'll just tell you about the first one.

2: Since we are content, we can be happy, then the other party's point of view is that contentment will not always be happy, and we can always be happy without being content. So may I ask, if I just can't eat enough and can't dress warmly, what can I use to make me happy?

I am not a saint, let alone a Buddha. (This question can be extended infinitely, you can say that I don't have a girlfriend now, I'm very unhappy, does the other party want to find me a boyfriend to make do?) ）

If everyone is satisfied with what they get, then human society will lose its enterprising spirit and will not be able to progress.

Where there is demand, there is creation.

First, from the perspective of conceptual connotation, contentment and happiness is an art of life, which originates from the enrichment of the inner spiritual world and the maturity of coping with life affairs, and is the inevitable choice of people after deeply understanding the truth of life. There are those who are destitute and yet happy. Why?

Let me look at a happiness equation: happiness = material desire. This was proposed by the American economist Samuelson.

From the point of view of economics, the greater the material consumption, the smaller the desire, and the greater the happiness; If, on the other hand, one's material consumption is limited and one's desires are infinite? I think everyone knows the answer! If the ancients left the idiom of "contentment is not always happy", I am afraid that it will be a mistake for people's children!

Second, from the perspective of the extension of contentment, contentment allows us to know how to base ourselves on the present and cherish the present. Contentment here is a kind of wise contentment, the goal line after a correct evaluation of one's own abilities, and a positive view of the vested life results, since the goal has been achieved and the value of one's own ability has been realized. Why aren't we happy?

People who are content and happy eat vegetable soup more delicious than eating delicacies from the mountains and seas; People who are content and unhappy are like eating vegetable soup when they eat delicacies from the mountains and seas. Does the other side think that all of us should live this unhappy life?

Third, in a practical sense, people who don't always enjoy themselves don't have a good attitude. There is no lack of joy in this world, but a good state of mind. embattled, so that the overlord of Western Chu could not form an army; The song of the guqin upstairs in the empty city made Sima Yi automatically withdraw from the army, these are not the use of psychological tactics, it can be seen that the influence of mentality on a person's actions cannot be ignored.

Those who are content and unhappy get troubles and worries, while those who are content and happy are satisfied with what they get, and then enjoy life and taste happiness, which is a smart choice and will get real happiness. Therefore, we have reason to firmly believe that those who are content are always happy!

In conclusion, I would like to say that everyone's heart is full of desire to be happy, and no one wants to live in sighs and tears. So how can we be happy? The answer is:

Contentment. Therefore, we all agree that contentment is always happy! Thank you!

So if according to the counterpart, why is Confucianism hailed as Chinese thought? The fall of the late Qing Dynasty was due to the corruption and incompetence of the Qing **! Human desire can make a person succeed and a person fail... So their ideas will not be handed down.

What we mean by contentment is the full appreciation of the existing gains, the full enjoyment of the current achievements, the full exploration of the existing potential, and the affirmation of the current state.

Fourth, "contentment and happiness" can play a role in enlightening and persuading, and "reducing fire and brightening eyes". When you remember the words "contentment and happiness", you will consciously lose a lot of sayings and greed, so that people will become more rational and intelligent, and you can see farther with your eyes on people and things, fame and fortune, money and things, so that your character is open-minded and generous.
