I sometimes think life is a story. I sometimes think we're just puppets in a puppet show. I sometimes try to look at my life in prospective also and believe that what really happens in a story or expected to happen isn't what's really happening in life. But be happy, friend, it seems your life will work out accordingly. It seems your conflict and climax has brought you here and I'd like to be the humble person to bring you to this realization through another story. Please read on....
Mike was a normal teenager
He had a perfect girlfriend
Who cared for him when he was ill
And whom he loved and loved him back
Mike was a straight A student
Mike lived in a large city
Mike's parents owned a large company, which he would soon take over
Mike's life was set and he was happy
It was Mike's anniversary
He had been together with his girlfriend for a year
He was on his way to buy the chocolate she liked
He had a wedding ring in his hand
When all of a sudden he was taken into a back alley, a gun pointed at his stomach
The man demanded the ring.. but Mike refused to give it up
So he was shot
In his last moments of life, Mike crawled out from the alley and saw his hopes, dreams, and future shatter
All his grades disappeared
His fake, material love for his girlfriend evaporated
His items that were meant so much to him
His iPod
His business
His daily checks
They all died
But something lit up inside Mike when he looked up from his dying ground right outside the alley
A church
And a cross
Suddenly, Mike realized an incredible empathy for a man who could've been immortal, king of all worlds, and could've had all the A's, businesses, and wives he wanted
But he gave it all up for death
And Mike died... feeling better than he had ever been
Without materials
Without the ring stolen from him
The only thing that was of worth: faith in a good life lived and a good life he was going to
I hope, friend, you make this realization before your time

An essential element in satisfaction is the positive ego gratification, which comes from achievements through intelligence and efforts rather than merely having everything one needs or wants. We truly need to earn our own respect and deserve what we get or have before we can get genuine satisfaction.
Well, it may also simply be the case of not having proper emotional gratification which comes from the right equations with family. friends and others.
Finally, it is also possible that one may feel dissatisfied despite having everything because of the monotony of it all, an absence of challenging variations and uncertainties in life.

Been Domesticated not wild. John Livinstone wrote in the book Rogue Primate it was not other lifeforms but Humans who were the first to be domesticated. Maybe it is this. Must be different Livingston than the other one as book dated 1994.

obviously you DON'T have everything which one can get-you don't have satisfaction.
Being satisfied is a choice that you make from within-it has nothing to do with having things.

Happiness is the pleasure derived from the sense you are fulfulling your purpose.
You are unsatisfied because you believe your life is about more than getting things.

Happiness does not always come with soething that you can but at the store. Sometimes it comes from other people, or doing something for someone else.
