Need and Wants
Blessed are the hungry for they will eat to be hungry again
Blessed are the empty for they will be filled only to be empty again
Blessed are the rich for they do not need anything, they have everything
Blessed are the dead for they do not feel anything
How ironic is it, that you have a million things you do not need,
And you do not have one thing that you truly and really need?
Ever thought about all the things you have but will never use?
So why attach yourself to this impermanent ever changing world?
If you only had what you need, you would save your space and money.
What you want is what cripples you for the wanting is never ending.
What you really need is what builds you up, get it and be whole.
If you get what you need what else do you want?
Blessed are those who know they already have everything they need.
Enlightened are those who know they already what they want to be.
For it was revealed to them that they already what they need to be.
Want is greed and desire is lust, these will never last.
