Contentment 

The state of mind you reach when you look at your life in all it's imperfection, and say "good enough".

Contentment is true peace of mind and has absolutely nothing to do with any external pleasure or condition, but rather your attitude.

There is no natural limit to desiring things. You will go on desiring more and more your whole life until you consciously decide "good enough".
Guy 1: "I'm feeling contentment right now. I think my life is good enough, despite all its imperfections."

Guy 2: "The enemy of 'great' is 'good enough.'

Guy 1: "Maybe, but 'good enough' is also the best friend of 'happiness' "

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
