> That's quite a work and protestant oriented point of view.

I think it might be the opposite - protestants find work to be noble, whereas I see it as evolution screwing us over for the sake of survival.

Which is literally what satisfied means (Latin satis "enough")

emphasis on `done`

If you're satisfied that 90% is enough, then you stop. Does that not qualify as 'done'?

I'd say it's not because `done` would mean 100% of your objectives are fulfilled.

Or you could be 100% satisfied with what's around you and still see a need for maintenance. Or you could be satisfied with the constant state of change things tend to be in and continue to contribute to that change. Or could see tendencies and desires in yourself as indications to continue to live as a human, to do human things, without attaching yourself to any specific outcome. Sitting still is one reaction to satisfaction, but far from the only one.

Now you're quibbling about the definition of "satisfied".

I think s/he means evolutionary speaking.
