Satisfaction and Happiness

Assalamu 3alikom,

I've been thinking lately about satisfaction and happiness, which one indicates better state and having a happy life :) ??
Of course u will say: manty lessa 2ayla "Happy" life, yb2a happiness ya 3abqareyya :D :D...

Well, most ppl tend to say about them selves that they are satisfied when they are feeling like this: "I'm not happy, life is not fine, and I have nothing to do about it... yallaa, ha3mel a ya3ny... adeena radyeen w 3aysheen wal7amdulillaaah, bas lw kan w lw kan w lw kan…!!!!!!!!" and ppl statrt t-lawleww :D

Well, I disagree with this definition of satisfaction...I believe that Satisfaction is much much greater than happiness, satisfied ppl are more "happy" than happy ppl, satisfaction is bigger, wider, deeper and even warmer.

The deep thinking about Satisfaction and happiness made me have the following conclusions:

• Happiness is a "Result" of a "Cause"... I had a good job, so I’m feeling happy about it.. my friend got engaged so I’m feeling happy about it, Dad bought me my dear little "batata" so I’m Very very very happy about it :D... Unlike satisfaction, actually satisfaction – as I believe- is more likely an attitude, it's smth that is deep inside ur heart that makes you feel good about every thing around u ( good things "AND" bad things).. Y ppl ba2a takes that satisfaction is with bad things and happiness is with the good?!!
  
• Unsatisfied ppl are less likely to feel happy, or let may say that, satisfied ppl get happy from the simplest things in life, they look behind the things and see meanings and feel happy.
  
• Fel Qur2aan u will notice that when Allaah sub7anahu wata3ala talks about the ultimate happiness he sub7anah talks about satisfaction, “wa ridwaanon mina Allahi akbar”, “Radia Allahu 3anhom wa radoo 3anh”.. and the 7adeeth that says that Allaah asks ahl al jannaah: “Hal radeetom?”.. it’s noting about happiness and joy.. if satisfaction was only in hard times, then y are we satisfied fel Janna?!!
  
• Allaah sub7anahu said:”Qul bi-fadli Allahi wara7amatihi fabithalika fal yafra7oo huwa 5ayron memma yajma3oon” .. This verse shows that happiness is indeed “caused” by smth.. and says that: don’t let ur causes of happiness be the things u collect in Dunia (money, family, buildings,…) let ur happiness be out of the mercy given to u by Allaah and the blesses that he sub7anahu wata3ala chose for u (and believe that this meaning takes us to satisfaction in a way or another).

Well, I’m not saying that feeling “Happy” is a bad thing.. Of course not :) .. Feeling happy makes us happy, this is a good thing :).. but feeling satisfied does not mean that u cannot be happy when good things happen, it’s just that u wont feel bad when bad things that happen.

May u all be satisfied about every thing in ur life, and may Allaah be satisfied with u all the way :)
Anyways, this is my opinion, feel free to object :)

Assalamu 3alikom
