You find sometimes, that you get what you need, yet, I can't get no satisfaction.
I can actually be happy without being satisfied. Lots of things make me feel happy, it's higher pitched feeling, involves some excitement I'd say. I'm generally pretty happy.
Satisfied is when I feel good about something being finished (unusual state for me) or like everything is plenty good enough. It's calmer and doesn't happen as often. I don't think I have the sort of trust needed to feel like things aren't on the verge of collapse, maybe.
Happiness is being satisfied with less than what you have.
to me satifaction is relaxation but happiness makes me feel like I have a live mouse in my stomach (in a good way) and makes me more social and makes me smile?
Devilish question OP. Really going to have to meditate on this further 🧐
The way I explained it last time someone asked me this is that happiness for me is a positive number manifested in the form of an emotion and sensation of the soul. Satisfaction, meanwhile, is simply the gratefulness that there was an effort in the universe to please me.
