Our Needs and Our Wants
Often we are asked a question
Is this something you need or want?
One day I was asked this question out of a conversation
I pondered for days and nights in frustration
Need is something necessary to live
Want is something out of desire
Once I distinguished between need and want
I asked myself, is money need or want?
Money is important to live, but we all want to have it
Without an answer, I asked myself, is love need or want?
Happily, I found an answer; It is a want
Soon after I became confused
Would a human be a human without love?
My indecisive mind couldn't find any answers to many of my questions
I came to a realization that nothing is either black or white
There is always a grey and there will always will be a grey.
