Content to be Dis-Satisfied

 "contradistinguishabilitiveness"..


When I was in High School this word, 30 letters long, was listed as the longest (non-scientific) word in the English language. Defined as the ability to see large differences between seemingly similar concepts... they gave as an example "seeing the difference between being 'content' and being 'satisfied'"

Since then, I always strive to be completely content with what I have and who I am, yet so dissatisfied that I am always striving for a better world and for self improvement.

I think this kind of contentment is the kind of "Peace" the Savior promised us.
