Is fulfillment the answer to satisfaction?

Thanks to all your answers. Have a great day!

Is fulfillment the answer to satisfaction?
If man is fulfilled..he is satisfied with whatever life has to offer.


Fulfillment is not only base on material things but with all aspects..physical, metal,social, psychological. But man is in constant search for the meaning of his life..thus he continually search for what would make him fulfill as a human being with a soul and purpose!
Reply:Fulfillment in what? – in true love?


True love gives both satisfaction and dissatisfaction and makes illusions far away!
Reply:No, because the more you have the more you want. That's human nature for you
Reply:Cogito is correct. Fulfillment %26amp; satisfaction are synonomous. One cannot be the "answer" to the other.


Also, in the first answer: In philosophy, one should never state an absolute. "The more you have, the more you want" may be the nature of "some" humans, but it is not human nature.


I'm sincerely beginning to wonder if this section is gravely lacking in the understanding that opinions, assumptions %26amp; subjectivity are not appropriate to philosophy.
Reply:What?!





Those are essentially synonyms in context
Reply:You are defining 'fulfillment' differently from 'satisfaction'? Like the word 'perfection', 'fulfillment' is non-existent. 'Satisfaction' is a temporary condition that requires re-fulfillment for its re-fulfillment.





The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.
