Being satisfied with what you have

Being satisfied with what you have

No matter how much we have, it seems that there is always something more to strive for. It is a rare person who is truly content with his life just as it is. We always want to be satisfied with want we have but is hard for us to get it. However, In my point of view that a certain amount of dissatisfaction is a natural part of human nature is actually beneficial to mankind.

First, the desires have no end. These are typically endless flow. When you were a child, you always craved for new toys, new clothes and appealing sweets. These desires also develop as you grow up. For instance, A college graduate wants to find a good job, if he gets a good job, he wants to get promoted. If someone is a rich fellow, he wants to be millionaire. Therefore, you can say that desires won’t die until the person die.

Furthermore, people are competitive, and nowadays the life is becoming more and more competitive and challenging . If someone gets satisfied whatever he or she has, his and her progress will be stopped there. For example, in terms of career, everybody has to fight and earn it. Today’s would is so dynamic. So, you have to turn in the race of life.

Finally, no dissatisfaction no advancement. Throughout the history, many scientists were not satisfied with the knowledge they gained from the books and teachers of their time. They still had many questions to which they could not find satisfactory answers. These dissatisfactions led them to make important discoveries and they, in turn, contributed greatly to the advancement of mankind. You can never achieve perfection. If you would like to be perfect, you always have to work upon it because there is no definition for perfection. Satisfaction is required but hard to get it.

Superficially, people’s endless dissatisfaction with what they have sounds greedy and unpleasant. But it is, this dissatisfaction of our humans’ that pushes our society to continuously create things new and different to meet people’s need.
