@koohiinomitai いつもありがとうございます。
ということは、この場合satisfiedに置き換えると、微妙にニュアンスが違ってくるということですか。どういう違いなのかが今一つ分かりにくいのですが、もう少し噛み砕いて説明をお願いできますか。🙇

There isn’t much difference between the two in conversation.
He isn’t content being an anonymous cog in a wheel anymore.
He isn’t satisfied being an anonymous cog in a wheel anymore.
Being is better than to be in this context because it describes a general state of feeling.
