'unsatisfactoiness' is much better. Dukkha referes to a kind of constant striving. A teacher once gave the example of what happens when you greet a loved one whom you have not seen in a very long time. You are so happy, you rush up and give that person a big long hug. Now, this is the best thing in the world. You have never felt happier. Still, after a minute or so, you want to stop hugging and go do something else. You don't wish that you were hugging that person forever, frozen in time. This example illustrates that even when we are really happy, we are not perfectly content.
