Weeks back I was planning to write on contentment but @FirstCity wrote something similar to what I wanted to write, you can check it here if we're to be living in the same house I would have said he stole my idea, lol. But such is life though, everyone might have the same ideas but the approach is what differential them.

For the title, you must have to know what the article is about, and I might be using some people as an example, with due respect don't think it the wrong way if your name is mentioned here, I'm just trying to make the explanation simpler, thanks in advance. I will be using satisfied instead of contentment, so it won't be too obvious.

Can humans be satisfied?

Last week I was asking myself these questions when going home after work hours, I was trying to put in one or two ideas together, so I and my other selves was having a boarding meeting in my head about the question.

I have come to realize that humans can never be satisfied, no matter how hard we try to act as if we are satisfied with what we got, deep down inside of us, we still have the hunger to hunt for more, it takes great discipline to control the hunger, most people who can't control it usually end up destroying themselves. Let's take a look at Solomon in the Bible (I won't be writing Bible verse) Solomon was the wealthiest and wisest man or perhaps king on Earth, for those of us who don't know the story of king story, I will summarize it, King Solomon was the son of King David (David that killed Goliath) King Solomon offered a burnt offering to Jehovah God and God told him to mention whatever he wants, King Solomon said he wants wisdom, God gave him wisdom and tipped it with wealth (just like Rusty tipping us), that's how King Solomon became the wealthiest and the wisest man ever, but still, he wasn't satisfied, how can one have everything in life and still not satisfied, king Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines (girlfriends) I wonder If he could sleep with all of them, lol. King Solomon wasn't still satisfied, to cut the story short, his hunger for more lead to his downfall. When I read the story in the Bible, I called him greedy and ungrateful at first (when I was a kid though) but as I began to grow up, and started to experience life in other forms.

A few days ago @Niazi420 posted an article about having a bad network and not also getting much attention as he use to get from Rusty, you can check the article here, after going through the article I understood him and something came into my mind at that moment, I know we have gone through it, including the pros here, when you started publishing articles here, you told yourself that if you are making 1$ per day here, you will be satisfied right? But as time flies and we started making more than 1$ per day, our hunger for more is now increasing and 20$ per day it's not even enough now, we want more than that, we keep pushing on and making unique contents, well that's how it is, we humans can never the satisfied even if we are given the whole earth, we will still want to take over heaven, lol. I know that everyone is guilty of this, ha hahaha.

Closing conclusion

In life, we always say that when we get to a certain level, we will relax there, but when we eventually get there earlier than expected, we look at it and say it's not enough and we set another goal again to go even higher and higher by doubling our hustle and most times we have sleepless nights and the brain will be working under pressure.

Sometimes we just have to seat without doing anything and start remembering when we are coming from so we can appreciate where we are today. 

Like I said, @FirstCity has already written most of it, lol. Do check out his article with the link above.

I just got a new sponsor today and I'm very happy now. Thanks, @Miyuki1991 for believing in me ma.
