Who's satisfied here?

Who is satisfied here? https://www.speakingtree.in/blog/who-is-satisfied-here/m-lite Excerpts : "Desires are infinite. It's almost impossible to fulfil all of them. It’s like a mirage-effect wherein a thirsty person runs towards a reflection of water in a desert but that reflection keeps vanishing. Sadly, the man continues running in the desert. Yet, there are a few people who are satisfied with whatever they have and they live their life to the fullest. Who are they?..." Yesterday I happened to see a WhatsApp message. One young lady is unhappy and frustrated as the connection chord of her iPhone charger is short. Another elderly lady is saying she has to walk 8 km everyday to bring water. Bhagavad Gita on satisfaction https://gitadaily.com/satisfaction-is-not-just-a-condition-but-also-a-choice/#:~:text=The%20Bhagavad%2Dgita%20(17.16),fasting%20on%20a%20holy%20day Excerpts : "But then, how can we ever have peace and joy if we stay forever dissatisfied? And won’t that be our fate if we let our satisfaction be a function of our material condition? After all, no matter how much we possess materially, there will always be more to possess. That’s why satisfaction comes not by changing our condition, but by making a choice – the choice to focus on and rejoice in what we have. The Bhagavad-gita (17.16) lists satisfaction as an austerity of the mind, indicating thereby that it is a conscious choice to be made, like say the choice of fasting on a holy day."
