Yes... if the person in question stops comparing what they have with what others have. Take me, for instance: I'm a very simple creature... I want to have a 'functioning' vagina, I want to play games with my friends, I want to hang out with my friends, and I want enough money to spend on an occasional whim.

I could be satisfied for hundreds of years off of just Risk, some 5 friends, and having a pizza on occasion Big Grin And sex, obviously.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Maybe, but I don't really care. Life is uncontrollable, just gotta sit back and enjoy the ride.

I have a women who loves me, a comfortable home, lots of friends and family and a job I enjoy that makes reasonable money.
So yes, I'm satisfied.

But that doesn't mean that I don't have goals or aspirations.

It just means that I won't be gutted if I don't achieve them.

Satisfaction or happiness is a state of mind. Once you find that state of mind, it would be pretty hard not to be happy or satisfied.
Like my father used to say; "You are poor, if you feel poor."
Human nature is to never be happy with what they've got. This, I suspect, paved the way to progress and innovation.
If you were always satisfied with what you had, there would be no reason to look for better ways or things.
Might maybe right, but right is always might.

Money, material goods and the like will probably not make someone satisfied. Everybody who tries to go down that path always wants more and more. I am very happy with my life. I don't want anything in terms of material possessions.

Ye sure, at a point in time.
Maybe even for a whole hour.
