Definition - #301 - #29 - Can I satisfy you?

What is “satisfaction”?
Whose “satisfaction”?....... A native can have a monkey for supper and be “satisfied”. A welfare person may receive the check and be “satisfied”. A millionaire may make another million dollar deal and be “satisfied”. Again, “Whose satisfaction”?
Is satisfaction “momentary” or “long time”?....... Is being “satisfied” with a good meal the same as finding a long term relationship? Is it the same as “world peace”?

Before I can “satisfy” you, I must first find out “what” satisfies” you. Only then can I (hopefully) “satisfy” you. It’s important to ask the question!!!

How can I present “Democracy” to people who are uncertain as to what it is; or, simply “Do NOT want it!”. How can I present anything to anybody before I question them about what they want and what we can try to offer? To whom do I speak?....... The rulers, the secret police, the politicians, or the general public? Who can speak for a nation?

Don’t you think that a discussion of what “they” want and what “we offer”; should be had before we “negotiate? At least we’ll know more about each other! The time period , the subject, the choice of the parties to speak to, all should be acknowledged BEFORE we begin to “negotiate”.

BEWARE! This word “satisfy” has many different meanings to many different people.

If you are “unaware”, how can you “satisfy” anyone?
