This is what is sad when one contemplates human life, that so many live out their lives in quiet lostness... they live, as it were, away from themselves and vanish like shadows. Their immortal souls are blown away, and they are not disquieted by the question of its immortality, because they are already disintegrated before they die.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

Philippians 4:11:
I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
(NIV)
Not that I am implying that I was in any personal want, for I have learned how to be content (satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or disquieted) in whatever state I am.
(AMP)
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
(KJV)
