Any elaboration would needlessly stir the doubt of dissatisfaction!

When a person can be satisfied?
now-days all are running behind money,love etc..... everyone has greed of getting things as per their thinking. so help me in this question.

My answer:
We are looking at the 'announcement' from a person that he/she is satisfied, to conclude that satisfaction has been reached. There are many things which satisfy a person but mostly remains grossly unnoticed, just because there are a few unfulfilled desires looming large over the mind.A stomach-full meal gives satisfaction. So does the emptying of bowels. A deep inhalation of fresh air, a deep sleep, recognition of a loved person afresh, yet again, each day, and many other wonderful things give utmost satisfaction. But we recognise these things only when an acute shortage occurs.If a person can just restrict to that mind's reference to 'pending' items, only when some action (planning too is an action, though not physical), is needed, then 'satisfaction' is a very commonly noticeable feature. If an entire society 'cultivates' this as an attitude, peace, happiness and joy will spread all around, and life itself would seem 'satisfactory' beyond words! We also call it contentment. But contentment is widely understood with the 'dis-satisfied' attitude, and hence may sound like 'helplessly' restricting joy or satisfaction with what we have. In a subtle way, we also needlessly become conscious of what we also 'ought to have' (as per our list of desires), and this brings a contradicting negativity that snatches the wonderful belch of satisfaction!
