I'm never satisfied, as I know that there's always more no matter what. Therefore, if I could've done better, why hadn't I-etc.? If you're easily satisfied in your life, than you're bounding yourself with limits, which is the main obstacle in life, and it's negative for your experiences. Why allow blind happiness, if it's just to keep you away from digging for more (positively)?

Why do you keep debating me? You will not win. Clearly? I never gave a definition for life, did I? Therefore, I can make it any definition I please, which I gave as "something that is of this world." A "supernatural entity" is not of this world, which I defined as religion since a definition was not given. Therefore, it is impossible to find true satisfaction in life. My argument is logically valid given the definitions I have provided. Go bug someone else now.

I did not say 'after you die.' How about this: Believing in a supernatural entity is the only possible way to find true satisfaction. A supernatural entity does not exist in life; therefore it is not possible to find true satisfaction in life.

You disputed my 'argument', therefore you have to prove that there is true satisfaction in life, which you haven't. Depends on your definition of life. I consider life as being something that is of this world, and most religions are faith based.

I didn't say it was an argument, I said it was an example. The main point I was trying to show is that money does not satisfy or bring happiness. You cannot find true satisfaction through material goods. You can only find true satisfaction through religion.

I say no, and I will use money as an example. Let's say true satisfaction for someone is to earn one million dollars. they earn it over time. Are they then truly satisfied? Not really. If someone came up to him or her and offered them a million dollars more they wouldn't reject it. It then becomes circular because they will keep wanting more and more money and will not be truly satisfied.

Edit: Since some smart people out there want to prove my argument wrong, I will list my other one as well:

The only way to find true satisfaction in life (something that is of this world) is through religion (a supernatural entity). Religion (a supernatural entity) does not exist in life (something that is of this world); therefore it is impossible to find true satisfaction in life.
