What we hold

Many things would be nice to have. However, it cannot be said they are needed. Such should not be considered until we take care of the necessities.

Life does not owe us anything. That which has not been earned is not deserved. We have been given much, but can it be said that we appreciate it?

Adults must learn to live within their means. Otherwise, one's standard of living will diminish. What we desire does not validate a mean existence.

What we hold has a hold on us. It is shameful when the desire for things dominates a person. It shows that our priorities are not in the right place.

Are you more apt to fight for what you want than who you care for? It is easy to lose interest in things. Then, they are tossed by the wayside.

People should not be treated the same. What we think does not affect who they are. We must set aside our feelings and let others prove themselves.

  1. What humans want are more important than what they need. Need has to do with necessity. Necessity has to do with basic survival. Want has to do with a greater scope. It is about where the human desires to go with his life. You are right that we do need to work to get those things. There is also an endless cycle where you need to work for what you need which can get in the way of the more important things.

    1. We must provide for our needs before we can pursue our wants. People desire many things just to have them. And because they want something, many believe they are entitled to it.

  2. We should become self sufficient to meet our needs, our wants should be for the spirit all else is fleeting.

    1. Once our needs have been met, then we can indulge in deeper things. The problem with most people is that they deem what they desire to be necessary. And woe be unto anyone who tells them otherwise.
