"Those who are confident and at peace with themselves are content. Taking it further and in spirit, someone who is serene. Serenity is a pleasant-sounding word. It is the state of calm, untroubled by life’s difficulties. Then there is Serendipity. Defined as “Occurrences of fortunate events that happen by chance.” Some associate it with luck. Even though, as a word, one is not a derivative of the other, the characteristics creating them would be similar. Anyone who experiences contentment, calm or good fortune doesn’t have to think very hard to know the reasons for it. Usually, a result of their general nature, intentions, and actions. To be discontent, one would be uncomfortable. Possibly unfamiliar with the cause-and-effect equation of life. Likely, their intent or inaction in important areas of life has brought misfortune to them. In Newton’s Third Law of Physics, “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.” Discondipity would then be “Occurrences of unforeseen misfortune.” Sometimes isolated and undeserved. After all, we can all have a stretch of bad luck. Often leaving one to question, “Why do these things happen to them?”"
