Needs and Wants

For almost everyone who has the ability to read this, your basic needs are already met. There rest are just wants.

There is real satisfaction in having your needs met. But there isn't any meaningful type of satisfaction to be found in having your wants met. Wants tend to be a whole lot more shallow than needs. Wants temporarily satisfy, but needs have longer lasting satisfaction. But if we're honest, a lot of our chasing is chasing down wants, not needs.

Recognizing our needs and them being met brings more satisfaction than a whole lot of wants being met.
