Is there any civilization at any era in history where people were just content? Because it seems like since the dawn of time we have the same complaints: the rich are too rich, the poor are too poor, adults hate teenagers, things were better in the good old days, we don't have good people / heroes anymore, etc etc. Was there ever just a time at any point where people someplace were just fucking satisfied?

"People" is a pretty big category.
I'd say there were periods when things were stable and everyone was more or less chill.
Egypt was famous for this.
To give you an idea of how stable ancient Egypt was, they used to use mud blocks to build things, so they'd have to include a slight sloping on their vertical angles to account for the material creeping.
When they switched to limestone blocks, they kept the angling.
1,500 years after the switch, people who had no idea about the history of mud brick construction were still including a slight slope in limestone blocks, because that was the way it was done.

Every period of history has content people and malcontents. Usually people are content about some things and not about others. How do you define content? As in "not a worry in the world"? Because that doesn't exist. Everyone worries about something. The happiest person you know has something bothering them.
If you want a period of history where nobody had anything they were mad about, it doesn't exist. Look at your own life - your standard of living is probably leagues better than anyone else in history, and you've probably got things that piss you off. It's the way of things. We're psychologically hard-wired to want what we don't have.
