Are you satisfied from you life? If yes how? ( Archived) (46)

How can one not be satisfied with their life?

I find my life a gift. I cherish it, I love it and I protect it.

In doing that, I am satisfied.

There´s nothing wrong in having dreams little one. Just appreciate what you already have. Life is too short.

In a nut shell I've got my monsters ..it's saturday evening and I'm going back to watch the simpsons with them...catch you later...

Of course i'm satisfied...it's my life and i try my very best to live to the full with or without a partner.
Ok i do miss having someone to share it with but that's another story...

Been here, done this

Yes ....what is for me will not go past me.......

I am not a jealous person by nature, nor can I say that I have ever lacked the essentials, but yes I feel that I could have had so much more out of life, that whatever was given to me was minimal.
We are accustomed to talking about justice in life, only to see that the guy next door is a hundred times better than you in every way, looks, women, riches, performance, while next to him is a beggar, with scanty clothes, no food, no place to dwell.

My question is: what has that guy done to merit more, or its corollary, why do I have to accept less when life is a free for all?

One answer I have always given to the question in the poll is:
If I had to live my life again I would do none of the things I did, and do all the things I did'nt do.
Experience has taught me to learn from my mistakes.

The problem is that we are stuck with the life we have, and most if not all of us would rather be satisfied with what we have rather admit to failure, or that our life is boring.
Most of us are also satisfied with our lives because we know no better.
If one takes time to discover how other people have a better life, then they would know if theirs is really satisfactory or not, and maybe give a different answer in the poll.

You can’t change your past, though you can always forget it, or forgive yourself for your past. And as you are still alive, you still have a chance to do things you haven’t done, but would like to do.




What the point in comparing your life with the others’? You can’t possibly know what is good and what is bad for them. You can compete only with yourself:

“If I understand the Honourable Member’s somewhat confused argument the Government are asked to ensure equality of intelligence, talent, health, energy and wealth while, at the same time, abolishing original sin as from the beginning of the next financial year. What divine providence has singularly failed to do, Her Majesty’s Government are to achieve by Statutory Order.” (P. D. James)

It would take another lifetime to do the things I did'nt do. Besides the fact that I am still alive does not mean I can spend my life single, like I would have liked to do!!
Being still alive, does not mean I can live without the worries that a family brings.
It is only by reliving life from the beginning, that I would be able to accomplish all these things.

Even if I did'nt have comodities that other people have, I can still appreciate how much better I would be if I had them, like a carefree life, or more money to spend.
Let's hope Her Majesty would adjust to our basic needs

Non Je Ne Regrette Rein.....I love my life and am grateful for every day given to me........and that includes all the negatives and mistakes I have made .......they are part of life....as for envying others.....how do we know what others go though ....everyone has his sorrows.........all I can say is seize the day because it will soon be gone ...........good morning world

To each his own.

The person who is satisfied with what he has, is the person who never bothers to improve himself, which is a pity really, because if one had to be content with one commodity, one would never strive to obtain anything else.
By default, this means leaving everything else for the others to grab..not a very positive thought!!

you know antcus why dont you stop making such crass judgements....the fact that one appreciates ones life does not mean that one does not strive or settles for less..nor is success measured in the commoditites that one can grab......

Didn’t know that being satisfied with the material level of one’s life is equal to stop of self-developing. And what actually do you mean with “improving himself?” Improving one’s grabbing reflex?

I am very very satisfied with my life.

Glad to hear it and glad to see you Gangel!

Basically, yes. But some things could be better. And WILL be better.

I'm absolutely miserable...why else would I be sitting on this bloddy compu.......

.....oh sorry, gotto go, I think I hear a beach babe calling me....
