You will never be satisfied, so why try to improve?

[germanroses]

Serious question, I've never understood this. It's common knowledge that people always want something better, but why do we keep trying to improve and be better when we will never be satisfied with what we achieve?

 

[Apchun144]

I would be satisfied on 20% instead of 10

You know it yourself, you're just coping.

Because you always want to so something

 

[DecrepidScaffolding]

If there are tangible benefits to improving yourself it’s worth the time. Better than all the doomscrolling I do

 

[hypernormie]

Boredom. If you can be perfectly content with what you have that's in some ways ideal but I don't think that's achievable for most people even if they tried.

Only way of finding peace is to be spiritual and stop caring about everything

The improvement itself is the satisfaction

The improvement itself is the satisfaction

Very temporary satisfaction we chase and get addicted to, It's just dopamine we get. Not pure satisfaction.

Define pure satisfaction

Where you are happy with your accomplishments for a long time, not just temporary

Bro thinks humans just never get satisfied
We get satisfied eventually with our looks, it’s just whatever and whenever you reach past your “threshold” of good looking

Going up .5 psl IS long term satisfaction in fact even more than man made accomplishments like money and competition

Which won't happen for most, your "threshold" for good looking will always increase because you will always want more. Raising your standards.

Very few achieve this, You won't get FULL satisfaction with this, that is near impossible yet so much strive for it.

It's fully possible and will give you temporary satisfaction, but because your standards are always raising you will always want more and start to question your own satisfaction.
