The difference between want and need
Dissatisfaction generates desire to want
It can turns into greed
But may desperation be the cause of need
Because it can be fulfilled
How to see
When want and need may feel the same
May be only time can tell
Because sometimes things that you want
are not always what you need
In this life do we seek what we want or what we need?
Just having a lot of thoughts on this issue lately
because of Coldplay's song "Fix You"
has this lyric that says "you get what you want but not what you need"
and then I started to questions things like... so things that we want or things that we need that will make us happy?
and how do you differentiate?
I know unhappiness can be created because of always wanting things.. not satisfied with what we have... but is it that simple?
sigh.. plz stop thinking for a bit

you know what? things that you want isn't always things that you need, right? that's where it hurts so much. you want something so bad yet you know it's not what you need. usually you will be happy if you get things that you want. but sometimes, if not most of the time, it's only temporary happiness.
on the other hand you might not be immediately happy after getting things that you need. but because it is things that you need, in the long run you'll be happy for sure.
this might raise more questions but I hope it helped with your thinking. don't think too much all the time if you can help it :) which to choose? what we want or what we need? be brave to choose one. be happy with whatever you choose. be ready to accept any consequences.
