the.com/dissatisfaction

The gap between what you have and what you just saw on your phone.

means The restless, nagging feeling that what you have isn't enough — the opposite of satisfaction.

from Built from the Latin prefix 'dis-' (not, reversal) plus 'satisfaction,' itself from 'satis' (enough) and 'facere' (to make or do) — literally 'to make enough.' So satisfaction is the state of having been made enough; dissatisfaction is the stubborn sense that you haven't been.
