There are many interpretations of the word satisfaction. One might define it as the feeling felt after achieving a goal or the completeness in finding their one true love. One can also argue that satisfaction is the act of fulfilling a desire or need or appetite. However, the bottom line is, satisfaction comes as the contentment one feels when they have done something right. Now who is to say what's right and what's wrong? Our now materialistic society plays a major role in one's better judgment. It seems quite obvious that some feel the fundamental basis of being happy is to posses a large amounts of materials, whether it is money, cars, jewelry or simply collectable stamps. But how far will one travel to achieve this feeling of contentment? Are they really chasing after something that would bring them delectation or anguish?

Any individual can achieve satisfaction, simply put. How they perceive it is up to them. While some may view an experience as satisfying, others may differ. A student might see that getting a C+ on an exam an achievement conversely a more distinguished student may see it as quite a disappointment. As some would say, if you aim low, you will never be disappointed. Only the individual has the right to declare their own state of being. ""In fact', said Mustapha Mond, 'you're claiming the right to be unhappy.' 'All right then,' said the Savage defiantly, 'I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.'"( Huxley, 240)

One factor in achieving satisfaction is stabilizing. One may view this as a positive or negative force. If one is truly satisfied with living under another's roof for the rest of their life, there is neither need nor motivation to strive for a place of their own. Now on the other hand, one who isn't content with living with their parents forever will most likely be motivated to move on to their own home. In one's opinion, the most successful people in life are never satisfied with what they have. They continue to set higher bars for achievement never actually settling with just satisfaction. However, are these over-achievers truly happy? They have all the wealth and power anyone can possess and yet why do they continue to raise the satisfaction bar?

One might say that's this impel is driven through
