Dissatisfied Unless

You can't satisfy everybody; especially if there are those who will be dissatisfied unless not everybody is satisfied.

-- Robert Nozick (1938 - 2002), American libertarian philosopher, Anarchy, State, and Utopia (1974) Ch. 10 : A Framework for Utopia; The Framework as Utopian Common Ground, p. 320

    Those persons, then perhaps will choose to be an agitator, during their misguided belief in what brings satisfaction.

    One who does not insist on their own satisfaction, and is fine with that, will inadvertently bring on their own peace and satisfaction. ??

    Any ( person?) which wants to please everyone would be ineffective.
