Satisfaction and creativity

Is there a (direct) inverse relation between satisfaction and creativity/ innovation? When one is content, where can the drive to make things better come from? Or is mankind somehow hard-wired to look at something and think how to make it better? I'm ambivalent about this. I have see how too comfortable a position can lead to skewed perspectives (failing wall-street investment banker's bonuses come to mind, or incompetent CEOs with huge salaries and golden parachutes) but I can also see the artistic need to look at something beautiful and show it in (arguably) enhanced ways which are not driven by discontment but rather by inspiration. What do you think?

jerks

I can’t stand people who double park their $30k cars in a full parking lot.

and remember.. a courtesy flush is always welcome by your neighbors.

Welcome

As someone once said (I paraphrase): Don't be caught with your pants
down while bits of wisdom escape you forever. Use your time wisely,
flush away any boredom. Let the experiment begin.
