Satisfaction the double-edged sword

                     

I’m frequently asking myself what most people are going after. Each time I get the same answer, most of them are going after a peaceful state of mind whose meaning is to live at ease, without any possibility or trace of worries and fear. This state of mind could be reached but it requires some conditions, which can be summed up as a whole in one word; satisfaction.

Satisfaction is a very crucial concept to be discussed over, especially nowadays, while a great deal of change occurs in our daily life, in a swift pace that is becoming so hard to control.

As a suggested explanation to shed light on this concept, satisfaction could be defined as the condition of having your needs and desires fulfilled along with being pleased with what you have in term of material possession, to consider your skills and characters as your only identity that define you among people, then act out yourself.

Accepting the explanation, satisfaction can be deemed as a reliable tool to eradicate any potential of greed, as a positive result, one can deal with life and its hindrances with a spirit of heroes. In fact, once you focus on what you possess and never put yourself in a situation where you may keep fighting to build a fake personality based on imitating others or even to try to please them, this time you can consider yourself you are in the right path and not going astray. Satisfaction is a very important weapon to wield during the process of aims reaching.

On the other hand, it’s necessary to point out that any misinterpretation of this concept may have a grave effect on you. The negative side of satisfaction could be touched if we carefully analyse our surroundings, have a typical look at people’s mindset, we will find many of them refuse to make an effort in order to bring a change into their lives, pretending to be satisfied with what they have. Such allegation will only drive people to a complete laziness. Moreover, there are a welter of people who are doing jobs they don’t like and making great efforts with no apparent outcome on their lives, instead, unintentionally, they are making others’ dreams become real. The misinterpretation of satisfaction will drive people to commit what we may call spiritual suicide and stop making any progress.

Satisfaction as a valuable concept in human being life should always be dealt with carefully in a bid to avoid any misinterpretation and any potential misrouting.
