J.S. Mill

J.S. Mill by jamesinger.
Read this guy's Autobiography.

"It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, are a different opinion, it is because they only know their own side of the question. The other party to the comparison knows both sides."---Mill

Personally, I feel that it may be a sign of enlightenment to learn to be the satisfied pig or a fool content. If it was the case that Socrates lived his life most times dissatisfied, wouldn't it say something for the fool who learned to live his life satisfied more often? Would that not be just as amazing of a use of one's reasoning faculties? I mean, I'm just saying and all.
