I saw this quote the other day.

“The world has enough for everyone’s needs.
Not enough for everyone’s wants.”

Now, I understand the big difference between the two.
But in fairness, the “Wants” motivates us to achieve more.
It helps us to focus and persevere.

We understand what we “Need.”
It’s the “Wants” that makes you get up in the morning and
Take on all the stuff this world feeds you.

It’s when people give up on what they “Want” that they realize what they “Need.”
Other times, people have too much “Wants” that they lose what they “Need.”

Some people would sacrifice losing what they “Want” for the same reason that they need their “Need.”

Do you know what I mean?
It’s a crazy vicious cycle.

I think what should really happen is,
For the world to stop showing us what we “Want,” and just tell us what we “Need.”

That’ll save everybody a whole lot of trouble.
