Is satisfaction good? Is dissatisfaction bad? #zenoferic<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

An overview of modern life<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

A lot of us in life are dissatisfied. I think dissatisfaction can be a good thing, if we use our dissatisfaction as a stimulus to create epic shit, or to change the world for the better. But, I think it’s good to find satisfaction with basic stuff, like food, shelter, transportation, etc.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But what I wish to do is pursue more this concept of satisfaction, and dissatisfaction. When is satisfaction good and bad? When is dissatisfaction good or bad?<\/p>\n

Definition of satisfaction<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

According to wiktionary, the definition of satisfaction (from the Latin, ‘satisfacio’:<\/p>\n

satisfaci\u00c5\u008d (present infinitive satisfacere, perfect active satisf\u00c4\u201cc\u00c4\u00ab, supine satisfactum); third conjugation i\u00c5\u008d-variant, irregular passive voice<\/p>\n

I satisfy, content
\nI secure, pay off
\nI apologize, make amends<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To satisfy means to content, to secure, pay off (debt), apologize, or make amends.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In modern society, I think we define “satisfaction” as “contentment”. We are “satisfied” in life if we feel contented with our possessions, salary, influence, etc.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But a cow is content. Is it truly contentment we desire in life?<\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

I think we should be content with the basic stuff: clothes, food, housing, etc. But we shouldn’t be content with life and society. I think it’s part of the human DNA to want to improve society, to improve technology, and to improve life.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So to wrap up, my conclusion is this:<\/p>\n

\n Be content with the basics in life for living, but don’t be content with your artwork. Strive to always push your artistry to the next level. But appreciate<\/i> your artistic journey and growth in life!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
