needs v wants

Should you think about your duty, or about the consequences of your actions? Or should you concentrate on becoming a good person?

needs v wants

Post by Advocate »

You OUGHT to have everything you need, but not everything you want.

Having some level of wants fulfilled is also a need.

And 'you' OUGHT to be actually be PROVIDING and GIVING "others" what 'they' NEED, instead of just TELLING "others" what 'you' think or BELIEVE that they OUGHT to have, correct?

Will you provide ANY example/s?

If no, then WHY NOT?

For instance, you don't need any particular level of entertainment, but you need entertainment.

When 'you' say, 'entertainment', what do 'you' mean or refer to, EXACTLY?

To 'me', for 'you', human beings, from the moment of coming out of the womb, and maybe even beforehand, 'entertainment' BEGINS, and does NOT END, or, more correctly, there is NO 'conscious awareness' of THE END, EXACTLY.

So, 'entertainment' is ALWAYS being provided anyway, and FREE OF CHARGE ALSO, I will add.

It does NOT matter if 'you' want 'it' or do NOT want 'it', 'you' are going to GET 'it', anyway, and ALWAYS.

Also, if 'you' NEED 'entertainment', and 'you' SAY and CLAIM here, then 'entertainment' is a NEED.
