I think that the two are intertwined, in order to be content doesn't there have to be some happiness involved. Overall though I choose happy.
One calls on the other ;in the sense that when one is content they are happy.
I don't think you can be happy without being content? After being miserable for so many years with my first wife, I am beyond happy now and very content with my second wife, the love of my life.
Silly question, I'm content to be happy
If I'm happy I'm content in life.
só ficarei realmente feliz quando estiver vivendo com vc amor
you can't have one without the other. but if i had to choose i'd say being happy...
I think it all has to do with how you feel. If you're happy, then being content is great. If you're unhappy and content it means you're not willing to challenge yourself enough to become happy. Being content is easy, looking inward to become happy is difficult. I would like to be content with being happy.
I like that and I think you said it well. I guess I'd have to look at the difference between being content and being complacent though cause complacency I think complacency is the negative form of contentment. I want to find contentment. I do not want to be complacent.
And of course I want happiness.

Being content
I refuse to choose. I am both content and happy.
This is such a great answer!

I can be content no matter what the situation, but it is much easier to be content when I'm sharing the situation with my wife and lover and friend. Sometimes we get to be happy as a bonus.
Content.
im content and happy sometimes but i feel like its a waste to not try for happiness all the time
Happy, which requires being content. I have a philosophical issue with this ?.
being happy
