of course satisfaction and enjoyment of life is the ultimate

what do you enjoy doing? what gives you satisfaction? you pick what you enjoy, you follow what gives you satisfaction - your satisfaction and enjoyment is not Joe Blows - you are both individuals

my point was, in America, you can follow that dream if you are a woman

how many women in the ME can follow their hearts desire? decide to not follow their families religion? become a police officer if they choose? the majority? half? 25%?

This means that the women get to spend their husband's money on jewelry and expensive (though I must say ugly) cloths, and socialize in various women "circles" while the foreign maids tend to every aspect of their home life. I wouldn't find such a life satisfying, but I can think of much worse.

their husbands money? that says it all

no wonder you wouldn't find it satisfying, few would

I can think of much worse too, but it doesn't mean I would want to live that life - hardly satisfaction or enjoyment

"This was in no small parts because Kuwaitis, in general, don't do much; they have workers from elsewhere to do everything for them.

Perhaps in your ruminations you have at least managed to chew your tail...
