Contentment Brings Joy

You Can’t Take It with You, which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1937 and was made into a movie by Frank Capra in 1938, is a play about two contrasting families: the Sycamores and the Kirbys. The Kirbys are rich but miserable; the Sycamores are unsophisticated and eccentric but content and happy. Talk about these two families to illustrate that it is contentment, not abundance and affluence, that brings joy.
