Is it possible to be very satisfied? Or is that like saying something is slightly unstable. Surely it is either stable or unstable** – can you qualify the degree of instability? Perhaps you can… so perhaps it is possible to be fairly satisfied, or very dissatisfied. My grading system at college would disagree. We have Fail, Poor, Satisfactory, Good, Excellent. There is no “very satisfactory”, or “slightly failed”.
However, is it possible to tick the box marked “I am neither satisfied nor dissatisfied”? To be dissatisfied is to have a lack of satisfaction. To be satisfied is to have satisfaction. How can you neither have satisfaction nor not have it? It is like something being neither stable nor unstable.
*ticks the I am neither satisfied nor dissatisfied” box*.
** Though this brings up the other brain hurter. Since something that is considered balanced requires only the slightest change to make it no longer balanced, a perfectly balanced situation is extremely unstable.
