want - need, negation, fun-happiness

the title seem strange, but i had to write down my philosophy which i explained to PD.

I believe in life, there is always wants and needs. Wants are what your heart desires while needs are what your stomach demands. Sounds funny, read on.

Wants are obvious, you can get also with some effort and will give you the best fun ever. I would consider buying the newest gadget or watching the latest movie or shopping the best clothes or job in foreign country as our wants. They are somethings you will normally do, normally desire and strive for. Without them we dont feel happy, we feel irritated, feels as if something is missing in life. Strangely we end up running after them. They also come when time is right but leave us with a sense of a-miss. Sometimes they may even leave us empty, drained, exhausted and wondering. To say it strongly, we are drug-addicts of our wants. Really we are (!!!).

Just a question before we continue, we all feel the need to be appreciated, desired and wanted. Are these wants or needs?

Ok, Need is our inner desire, not obvious, never clear and will give you the happiness and calmness you never had before. It is very difficult to actually figure out what one needs. i for example dont know that yet. May be i need to feel loved or the need to create something that touches people. cant say.

Thats where theory of negation comes in. It helps you get right wants and needs. It can help you decide what you dont really need. It is important to know what you DONOT NEED. i dont need emotional attachments which i cannot handle. i dont need a lot money to make me satisfied. i dont need to be put on a pedestal and worshipped. I dont need to be great but a good human being. i dont need a big TV or a big car or a big house to feel like a king. Is this the difference between sex and love?

Anyways, the true fact of matter is a BALANCE of wants and needs. Dont miss out gaining wants at expense of ones needs and never give up looking for satisfaction of one's needs in attaining one's wants. One has to seek and strike the balance between them, wants are spontaneous while need are thought through. spontaneity is a must while enlightenment helps stay calm. One should not in search for needs, skip through the moments bring wants.

The reason for this balance, the need for BOTH fun and happiness in life.

Wants bring in fun, they are momentary but help one release the energy built up inside. One should make most of them but not loose sight and path. Remember that it is fun, enjoy it while it lasts, wont be for long and will leave you with a sense of unfruitfulness so move on. Move on !!!

Needs bring in happiness which is permanent, long lasting and self fulfilling. Such moments are few and far in between but when they happen one can reflect and feel nice about them for whole of their lives. Happiness will give one sense to rootness and in some ways discover life.
So for now, I AM FREE!!!!
