It is an interesting topic, as we are told that we should do what makes us feel better about ourselves - yet it always seems to "buy something" that makes other people judge us in a better light (or worse depending on the size of the lips). No one is really happy with themselves, but at the same time, I get that people are always looking for a quick fix to contentment. I do think though, that even if never perfect, contentment can't come through the quick fix or pill, it can come through the attempt to be better, the work. Like going to the gym might not lead to the perfect body, but the effort makes the gains owned.
I wonder what's brought the change. I think people have always wanted to be more content with themselves and it used to mean a little hard work brought about through self-honesty and introspection. These days it often means inflated lips, cleavage selfies on Instagram and buying a new iPhone. How the world, and people, have changed.

"More content" used to be what an individual can do to improve - now it is what they can buy - and you can buy lips, boobs and arses.
Exactly, you've hit the nail on the head with this comment. It's sad really, but a sign of the times.
