Can the feeling of satisfaction be trusted?

Answer 1

yes. just as long as it is the inner satisfaction that comes from the heart. there are two types of satisfaction: the real kind, and the fake kind that seems more real than the real thing. desires are an example of fake satistaction, because they are never ending, and nothing can ever be accomplished. doing favors for others is the real kind, because you are making them happy, and therefore you, too, are happy. i hope this helps!!

Answer 2

Well, if your satisfaction is gained by means that satisfy you, then, yes. If you have committed no crimes or sins or things that make you cringe to gain your satisfaction, then enjoy it while you can.

And I wouldn't say that drugs give a feeling of satisfaction--I think they're more potent than that. I mean, a satisfaction drug...sounds pretty lame. People aren't going to risk burning their faces off cooking up Satisfaction. There aren't Satisfaction whores working the corners. Maybe in later stages of addiction, all you get is satisfaction, but in early addiction, it's all about a rush, a feeling of euphoria, a deep indescribable calm. Later, when the drug has ruined your neurotransmitters and killed off brain meat, you'd be lucky to feel satisfied by the drug. Addiction's a *****! That's why I've never done any illegal drugs, because I'm afraid of losing control and skipping right to an intense need for a substance just to survive.

But if, say, your kittycat gives you a nice satisfied feeling when she purrs at you--that's OK. If you need 50 kitties to be satisfied, then reevaluate your idea of satisfaction. If some money makes you satisfied, fine, but a lot of money probably won't do it--mo' money, mo' problems. I think it's about balance--you won't be truly satisfied unless you seek moderation in all things. And don't do drugs. See, kids, drugs're bad, mmmmkay?

No, seriously, don't do drugs. But satisfaction is a nice feeling, and one you should shoot for--joy is fleeting and hopefully, so are despair and heartache. But satisfaction is a good everyday feeling, one you can wear like a good pair of jeans that fit just right. Why not trust it? Satisfaction is simple, honest, and usually cheap, if not free. So take it when you find it and don't think about it too much.

Answer 3

no.

a feeling of satisfaction is simply a response you have to a chemical. That can be artificially stimulated by drugs.

additionally the feeling can be "cheated'. For instance we like sweet things because in nature sweet things tend to be healthy - like fruit. But now we have sweet things that are entirely unhealthy just to achieve the satisfaction that eating a sweet thing gives us. We are cheating and getting the feeling without getting what was supposed to give us the feeling.

additionally you can have a feeling of satisfaction and think it is right but you can be wrong. You could have a feeling of satisfaction from sending money to a charity. But if the check gets lost in the mail you haven't actually helped the charity. It isn't your fault. You think you did a good deed. But you didn't actually help anyone.

Answer 4

Of course. To be satisfied is to be feel full. And, just like anything else that feeling of fullness goes away but you know (and trust) that if you do that same thing again, you will be satisfied or full again. So, I say yes. Satisfaction can be trusted as long as you know what it was that quenched your thirst in the first place.

Answer 5

No. All feelings of satisfaction are temporary because all things constantly change, including what you consider satisfactory. Whatever you may be feeling now, the one thing you can be certain of is that you won't be feeling it later.

Answer 6

'feeling' is not your total self. 'trust' has its ground in feeling. Can the need before satisfaction be trusted? Can 'trust' be trusted. This is self doubting self, but what is this self. NOW, what is your objective end.

Answer 7

The key word there would be feeling. I think that feelings can be trusted but only for short amounts of time. Nothing more then maybe five minutes :-)

Answer 8

Enjoyed, yes. Trusted no. Reason that feeling comes and goes. It's a fickle feeling.

Answer 9

No. A drug could give you a temporary feeling of satisfaction while it is actually destroying your brain.

Answer 10

just feelings...without mental/intelectual conclusions about them. Line is subtle...we trust actually to our intellectual conclusions over feelings and as a result we confused most of a time on a long run.
