Everything you are saying here makes sense. If you're unhappy mostly because you're dissatisfied you try to fix that, but what you do doesn't work so you attempt at settling. You manage ok for a while but ultimately you are dissatisified the same way again. What is the answer to that??

You are a wonderful author. This was moving for me, as I feel like I am constantly unhappy or dissatisfied and can't quite pinpoint what, or what to do about it. Thank you again.

I especially like the Food Example. What about someone who has identified the source of their dissatisfaction, taken steps to remedy that dissatisfaction, yet for whatever reason and despite their constant efforts is not able to achieve their goal. Frustration ensues, and this person realizes that they are unhappy because of this frustration and decides to be just be happy with what they have, assuming their goal to be unattainable. This "settling" if you will goes on for a while. Months or years go by, and that forced satisfaction erupts into dissatisfaction again, because they know deep down, that this is not how things should be. Rinse... Repeat. Great post Ed.
