The term “gratification” takes on a range of meanings in literature, often serving as a marker for both immediate pleasure and deeper emotional or intellectual fulfillment. In historical and political narratives, it sometimes signifies a force driving urgent, even aggressive, actions—almost as if fulfilling a demand for power or revenge ([1], [2]). In other works, however, it represents the gentle satisfaction derived from everyday moments or aesthetic experiences, whether in the enjoyment of a meal, an engaging conversation, or the emotional uplift of a kind gesture ([3], [4], [5]). Philosophical and psychoanalytic writings further expand the notion, using “gratification” to explore the interplay between natural instincts and the pursuit of higher ideals ([6], [7], [8]). Even when associated with more controversial or raw human emotions, as in discussions of desire or violent impulses, the term remains a potent indicator of what drives human behavior—showcasing its versatility as it moves seamlessly between the mundane and the profound ([9], [10], [11]).
