There is dissatisfaction in all of us. Some of us take out that dissatisfaction by attempting to ruin whatever you are attempting to do. This is a fact of life.

I've always had this deep and chronic sense of dissatisfaction.

Longing and desire goes further than instant satisfaction. That's human nature.

Happiness: an agreeable sensation arising from contemplating the misery of another.

Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life.

With me, satisfaction is always very fleeting with our work. I always get a little restless with it.

What we call happiness in the strictest sense comes from the (preferably sudden) satisfaction of needs which have been dammed up to a high degree.

Happiness or satisfaction consists only in the enjoyment of those objects which are by nature suited to our several particular appetites, passions, and affections.

I think there is something for all of us where you find a balance in your life, where you feel that everything you do isn't about your own creature comforts or satisfying your own appetites. Some of it has to be directed outward and there is a huge satisfaction in that.
