You must have heard it from your elders that to be happy in life you must get satisfied with what you get. My argument to this statement is if god has been satisfied with himself he would not have made this beautiful world.
If he would have been satisfied with creation i.e. the universe he would not have created adam and eve. If adam and eve were just satisfied with living in the gods garden they wouldn’t have listened to the satan and wouldn’t have eaten the forbidden apple that gave them all the pain an sorrows to get thrown out from heaven. If the cave man was satisfied with the darkness he wouldn’t had thought of fire, if he had been satisfied with fruits he wouldn’t have killed animals to taste meat. If all the great scientist and inventor would have been happy with their life they wouldn’t have thought of anything new. The comfort that we are availing these days to pamper our life- a house build with bricks, well furnished with electricity, a vehicle to make our transportation easy, a mobile phone to make communication easy etc. if Prince Siddhartha Gautama had been happy with his life he had never become the Buddha and wouldn’t have touch so many hearts in world with his teachings. If countries would have been satisfied to work like slaves for other countries then there wouldn’t have been great stories of freedom fighters and there may not have been any independent countries in the world. If the scientist would have been satisfied with their life they wouldn’t have discovered the new horizons of the universe, to discover new planets, to build space craft to land on moon to travel in space to share great facts about the universe. If people had been satisfied with batter system then the currency would have been introduced. If people had been happy with their ongoing monotonous life they wouldn't have h=made cinema, music all the fine things that we are enjoying these days.
All the amazing dissatisfaction and the thought of creating something new have made our life easier. So how can elders say that satisfaction is the key to happiness when you will not have the desire to get something better you will never get anything better in life? If the almighty god gets dissatisfied with his work and he had desires to have more then why can’t we? For me the statement perfectly works that “satisfaction kills desires, new inventions, new discovery even your creativity and affects your new thought process”.
So be unsatisfied get you desire to heights want more in life and have creative thoughts to make new discoveries and inventions.
