Satisfaction is the sense of being whole and complete -- nothing missing, no deficiency. This is a state which is available to all healthy people, but is somewhat rarely experienced by most. The reasons it's rare are rooted in our delusions about what it means to BE. Instead of simply learning to be present with life as it is at each moment, we're usually engaged in a futile struggle to maintain and promote a false kind of identity -- one which seems to be separate from the whole of life. The mind's preoccupation with this "clinging to self" prevents it from simply relaxing and BE-ing here and now, satisfied, creative, relaxed, and whole. This is curable, fortunately.
