Inward satisfaction is indeed what we can hope for greater.
It is a beautiful thing.
Happiness from desire is less fulfilling than being in a state of composure and equanimity. Desire is only short-lived and if anything it is a catalyst of sorrow and despondency whereas if you are in a place of tranquillity you have this pure unconditional love which cannot be bred or recreated any other way.
This is probably one of my favourite excerpts @jamesallen! :)

"Gratified desire," that moment you buy a new toy because you wanted it so badly. Then a week later got bored of it.
Yes. Our desire is so fickle.
Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.
It is a constant concern for me in a world of cryptocurrency. I stay vigilant through meditation.
