Satisfaction

What is satisfaction? Is it being happy? Having joy? Is it having peace? Are we supposed to be satisfied? Part of me thinks that I need to learn to be more content and present where I am, but on the other hand I don’t want to always be content and satisfied. Most often I am not. Is that good or bad? I suppose it partly depends on what I do with it. Does my dissatisfaction drive me to pursue something better, or does it stifle me into stagnant disparity? Except, if satisfaction will lead me to be complacent, and therefore I do not want to be satisfied, then in my pursuit of something better I am searching for something that I don’t want. What is the something better I am searching for? Why do I always think that what I don’t have is what I want? Why is the thing that I don’t have, that I want, not the thing that I need? Why is the thing that I need so much harder to find?
