Seeking Satisfaction

~ Gottfried

Laziness may appear attractive but work gives satisfaction. Stealing brings unexpected joy. We all have obstacles. The feeling of satisfaction comes by overcoming something. The art of being happy is to be satisfied with what you have. If one girlfriend makes you this happy, imagine two.

It’s not all about customer satisfaction. Customer service is so diabolical these days. Your time is important to us but do enjoy this 40 minute flute solo as we ponder on whether or not to respond to you. If you’d like to press 1, press 3. If you’d like to press 3, press 8. If you’d like to press 8, press 5.

Smashing things. It’s a common theme these sets for people to look to smashing things for satisfaction. There are few more gratifying things in life than getting medieval on that $300 piece of office equipment that never did work. True satisfaction is closing all the browser tabs after completing the assignment.

Job satisfaction. I feel sorry for a person who can’t get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied but he’s also likely to never achieve anything worthwhile. Which is why I have outsourced my satisfaction to other areas of my life. A paycheck is enough to keep me going.

Ticking off tasks. Sometimes I write down tasks after I have done them, just to get the satisfaction of crossing them off my list. Making fun of others may give you temporary satisfaction but it will leave a lasting stain on your soul. Which is why ideally in this line of work, you shouldn’t have a soul.

Instant satisfaction appeals to me. Similar to instant coffee but without the slumber inducing effects. After a good dinner you can forgive anybody. Even your own relatives. Which is why I settle all disputes over brunch. A well fed foe is basically a friend. The main facts in human life are five: birth, food, sleep, love, and death.

Woke up with determination, I’m going back to bed for satisfaction.
