how does Herbert feel about his lot in life?

Herbert seems refreshingly content about his lot in life. Herbert tells Pip that he had been brought to Miss Havisham’s all those years ago as a playmate for Estella. He speculates that Miss. H might have even considered him as a mate for Estella. Nothing materialized and now he lives in London a poor guy with few prospects. Herbert, however, doesn't seem bothered by it.
