The concept that concerns us has a recurring use in our language, and depending on the context in which it is used, the word satisfaction will refer various questions.
Taste or pleasure that someone or something produces

The happiness of the duty accomplished as it is popularly said.
The impact of satisfaction on the brain
Satisfaction is a state of mind, generated by a greater or lesser, as appropriate, optimization of the brain feedback, by which the different brain areas compensate the energy potential giving a feeling of fullness, while the lesser or greater feeling of satisfaction that someone presents will depend on the optimization of the energy consumption carried out by the brain, that is, the greater the greater the neurotransmitter capacity, the greater the possibility of satisfaction.
If the aforementioned optimization is not achieved, dissatisfaction will develop and the individual will immediately begin to feel restlessness and dissatisfaction as a consequence of it.
If satisfaction is accompanied by the rational assurance of having done what was within our power, and above all with a degree of success, such a situation will contribute to sustaining the harmonious state as far as mental functioning is concerned.

The other side of this sense of the concept is the displeasure that will imply the discontent or displeasure that something or someone provokes in you.
Mode by which a grievance is repaired

“I'll be able to satisfy my thirst when you hand me a drink. You don't know the satisfaction it gives me to see you.”
