We hear this phrase quite
often... 'More or less' satisfied with something!....
A fuzzy logic!
I had heard that when
Japanese people attempted to further innovate 'accurate' washing of
clothes with the automatic washing machine, they deployed a new
concept of 'fuzzy-logic'..! Thus the machines started washing
clothes a bit more 'thoroughly'!!!
Our mind is sometimes
caught in a fix... Whether to settle for contentment, or to strive
for more!
This Japanese washing
machine seemed to be better than me... it rinses the cloth which is
unusually soiled, but does not overdo it so as to tear off or weaken
the fibre too badly as to render it useless to wear! So, I am
humiliated by that stupid washing machine, when it comes to using a
via-media fuzzy logic even! How sad, I thought of myself for a while
!
And, when it comes to
'doing something' worth while... ('Naam roshan karo', in Hindi...
become an achiever).. there is another competitor... “accomplished
person”...!!! Some people do not excel in skills, but manage to do
a lot for others, and become 'great', not as an exceptionally skilled
person, qualified person or a wise/intelligent person, but just as a
humble benefactor of several others, and thus earn a lasting
reputation! Some others, excel professionally, intellectually, etc
and reach peaks of glory, but they are different from that
social-worker-type of great persons... they are great scientists, or
business empire-builders, statesmen, politicians, painter,
musicians-par-excellence, etc!
A person with great
potential, consciously chooses to lead a simple life like a
non-entity too... The confusion happens when an eminent scientist
like Shri Albert Einstein let out a dialogue during his last days,
summing up his life experience, something like this: “If there is a
re-birth, as they say,.. I would wish to be born as a humble
farmer”!!!
It is indeed a debatable
question, and there are no specific right answers too!
I did not quite “expect”
that my answer would be picked!
More or less yours,

Question:
One should be satisfied
with what they have or they should always want and strive for
something more?
Answer:
Both!
Our personal needs are simple, and we can be easily satisfied...
But our capability is more, to produce enough for a family (that is what a father of a family does!)...
That gives others a little more freedom to pursue arts, innovation, exploration etc...
The striving is for more out of natural resources, so that more people can spend time doing something more than for just livelihood!

(A remark, after
having chosen the answer, which is more remarkable than my answer!)
quote:
“Like universe, human
mind is also programmed to fill the void. Smart and relevant
questions create void that is required to be fulfilled. So,
fulfillment of necessities are must, but greed must be avoided. One
should be satisfied with what he has and strive for betterment with
right conduct.”
