It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, are of a different opinion, it is because they only know their own side of the question. - John Stuart Mill 

explain : what the quote means?

 

Answer:

Its better to be human dissatisfied than to be pig satisfied. It has been argued that people therefore don't grow their full human potential  largely because they do not participate in a reasonably sophisticated refinement. John Stuart Mill  in his book therefore sophisticated the refinement. Of the essay that its better to be to be human dissatisfied than to be pig satisfied, this therefore shows the advantages of being a human dissatisfied are better than the pig satisfied. Mills therefore compares the two metaphors  of the people who prefer humans and those who prefer pigs. Therefore whatever kinds of pleasures they prefer is more worthy kind. Mills therefore uses this essay or the concept here to show the knowledgeable higher order beings prefer the intellectual pleasures.

Therefore those who are equally acquainted with, and those equally capable of appreciating and thus enjoying both do not give therefore a marked preference to the manner of the existences which therefore employs their higher faculties. Few human creatures  would therefore be changed into any of the lower animals for the  promise of the fullest allowance of a beasts pleasures.

John Mills therefore argues that a fool and a pig can therefore have only a different opinion because it therefore knows the one side of an issue but therefore the Socrates or the humans knows  that both the fool and the pigs have sides of an issue.Hence,can therefore have different opinion based on the valid justification which can therefore only means would be achieved and thus taken aspects into the regards.

Step-by-step explanation

Now its is therefore unquestionable  facts that those  who are therefore equally acquainted with, and  equally of appreciating and thus enjoying both, do give a most marked preference to the manner of the existences which therefore employs their higher faculties. Few human creatures would therefore consent to be changed into any of the beasts pleasures. It is better to be human being dissatisfied than

a pig satisfied, therefore to be a Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And therefore if the pig or the fool are of different opinion then it is because they only know their own side of the question. Hence the other party of the comparison knows the both sides.This is according to the John Mills.
