It is always a constant struggle to get to the top. Man and women alike, are never satisfied with their position. It is by human nature to ask for something more, or extra. When a child crawls, you teach him to walk, when a child walks, you teach him to run. Eventually, this child is going to do whatever it takes to learn how to fly, even if he has wings or not. To obtain self-satisfaction, there needs to be a ground where something meets the requirements that you set as a standard. The problem with setting standards is that what makes a person’s standard changes day by day. Off this analyzes alone, it would be natural to say that self-satisfaction can never be achieved. It does not matter what social class you grew up in, or what your different experiences in life are. The one universal truth of this matter is that everyone wants something. It could be small, or it could be complete domination. This is how wars start. People “want” control over others, because they could not settle for what they have. It’s like I said, it is by natural instincts to want or to obtain everything possible. However, in order for that to happen, you have to lose something. To gain power, you must lose your ability of weakness. To gain respect, you have to sacrifice your own disrespect. In the end, there must be a balance between what you have, and what you want to obtain. The real reason why we all want something is because we never gained anything to begin with. We are just trading off what we have to obtain something else, causing humanity to be at a standstill.

Man, maybe you should get a less misleading title.

The problem with self satisfaction is that you have no control over it. It all belongs to your id. The id is the thing that craves. If you never satisfy it life is pretty much pointless. There are almost no people with a full id.

Dawwwwwwwwww, I was expecting something much more interesting.

Also, the Seven Deadly Sins beat you to this idea, to an extent.
