At the start of the work, the author sets a contemplative tone, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and the formation of virtuous habits. The opening letter discusses the concept of contentment, urging the young lady to reflect on her thoughts and attitudes towards her circumstances, particularly in relation to her personal struggles. It cautions against the insidious nature of discontent and encourages the reader to view her life with a grateful and thoughtful mindset. The letter paints a vivid picture of the psychological implications that a discontented spirit can bring, ultimately emphasizing that true happiness and fulfillment can be cultivated through disciplined attention to her thoughts and actions.
