I suggest a follow-up article discussing how to discern whether a poor situation is better left in the status quo or changed, and if changed, how to determine whether it should be moderate or drastic. A companion discussion on how to develop support from others for the proposed change would also be welcome. Your essay is a good introduction of fundamental concepts.

Just a couple of quick thoughts. It is this discontent that allows terrorists to brainwash people into strapping on bombs and blowing themselves up as well as those around them. I remember in history when John Adams was president that the country wanted very much to go to war with France. He showed restraint and becuase of this might well have rescued the US from destruction. You have talked much of discontent on a national level or international level but I believe it works the same on a personal level as well. You spoke of bench marks of yesterday that quickly become blurred. People of today find that what we had yesterday is not enough. What were luxuries of yesterday are necessities of today. Our discontent leaves us wanting more, leaves us in debt, and when our personal world goes south we become unhappy and look to someone,ie: the government to bail us out of our mistakes. When this does not happen people today often rebel. To often today we are quick to blame others for our mistakes and unwilling to take responsibility for them. Discontent is one of Satan's greatest tools and can lead to our distruction. But properly focused discontent as you mention can lead to great advancements, both scientific and personal advancement. Our properly focused discontent can lead to personal growth and progression. My time is gone. I will look forward to reading more from your site in the future. Hello Chris:
