I think CS would have been cool with word-quibbles. Next one: The best satisfactions on earth are lacking something compared to what? Like, if my expectation was, "This activity is not only going to make me happy, but also rich and as virile as I was at seventeen," then no, pretty much no circumstance is going to fulfill that. But my circumstances make me about as happy as any human being on earth. Shouldn't that be the high endpoint of satisfaction? Like, satisfaction can't be defined as "some kind of pleasure it's impossible to feel in earthly existence" or "like orgasming all the time", or nobody could use it and it's basically a throwaway word. Do you see what I mean? Basically, my satisfactions are right in line with my expectations, so I logically cannot feel like they're lacking. Right?
