Satisfaction is one of those nebulous things that is rarely acheived to anyone's ultimate desire.
Why must this be so?
How can anyone tell me more than they know? How can I know the answer to something that has yet to happen? If I believe that they are being honest with me, then why should I expect them to pull information out of the sky to satisfy my curiousity?
Perhaps that's it. Perhaps people simply don't believe others are being honest with them.
I realize we all have our personal agendas, but I also hate to think that we all walk about this earth expecting conspiracy everywhere.
Just so you know, when dealing with me, I will tell you all I know about anything if I remember to tell you. Nondisclosure through ommission is still nondisclosure, but it is not bad intent. Often, I'm told I am too blunt. I come with the following disclaimer: Don't ask if you really don't want to know.
Satisfied? *smiles*

Why would anybody make such a ridiculous agreement with themselves and how dare they presume to know how rarely or how often "anyone's" ultimate desire is achieved? I do not agree with this statement. I beleive that satisfaction is an internal state, not external. People who think of themselves as happy and satisfied are Happy and satisfied. People who believe the above are rarely, but to insits that the rule applies across the board is just presumptuous.
As far as suspicious people go, I have observed that the dishonest are the least trusting folks and that "gullible" (trusting) people tend to be truthful. It is because everybody views the world from inside their own head and that view is entirely colored by their motivations and experiences. People tend to assume that other humans are motivated by the same things (hence the broad negative generalization above) as they are. So, liars are suspicious, thieves are paranoid of being stolen from, and the honest folks are trusting.
I too prefer to be straightforward with people and I hope they are to me back. Truthspeakers are often confronted by people that would rather be lied to or have their illusions sustained. Some people thrive on having their eyes open to new possibilities and world views and others are more fragile and can't stand to have their foundations shaken. Generally, the latter tend to not stay in my life very long, as I am of the former group and I love conversations that broaden my horizons, twist my brain, and redefine reality.
You are awesome! I love you!

I'd much rather deal with an honest, brutally tactless person than a Casanova with a silver tongue. They send warning shivers up my spine.
