Egolessness is contentment.

<p><br />Discontentment is human, contentment is divine. Animals know neither contentment nor discontentment; they simply go on living mechanically, unconsciously. It is the great privilege of human being to be aware of discontent. To be aware of discontent means there is a possibility to grow towards contentment. But very few people make any effort towards inner growth. Their whole life is rooted in a misunderstanding. They think that if they have a bigger house or more money or more power or more prestige they will be contented; that if they become famous, if their name is known all over the world, then they will be contented. That is sheer nonsense.<img src="http://peacewanderer.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/success1.jpg" alt="" width="294" height="335" /></p>

You are of course right in your assessment of human contentment, wealth or fame are certainly no guarantee of it but I think my dog knows whether she is contented or not and she certainly knows how to tell me so I would disagree with that part of your thesis.

You cannot possess all and everything. Whatsoever you possess will not give you contentment. The mind, the ego, will always feel unfulfilled.
