Need To Know Needs

We tend to think we know better but we do not question if we do in fact know better. Even to as something simple as what is best of us, we tend to find what we like in which most times is against what is good for us. How have we been misled and how do we continue to mislead ourselves into thinking what we want is good for us? Our wants are mostly our downfalls but we do not recognize this. Many know that what we want and what we need are two entirely different thing but continue searching out wants. It is not that every want is opposite of our needs, just most. Our wants are always big and most often brings us misery searching out for them but our needs, they are most often much more simple and much less in quantity and/ or quality. Much of what we want are really not our wants. They are wants made by someone else to keep us in like or controlled. Why do we want the things we want? If we want them because we enjoy them simply and if we were alone in this world, our joy of the wants are unchanged, then and only then are they our wants because there are no outside influences promoting us to want. Home, cars, and things, even people we want, we want because it pleases us to see others see us with it. We need to show it off. There are things that do fall into wants and needs. Sometimes we want somethings that we can imagine not sharing with the world (for our eyes only) it pleases us with or without people.

When we want to be sure of wants and need we need play an imaginative scenario where there are no other beings in the world and see how much we like it then. How much likely are we to buy it if we were alone in the world than if there are others in the world.
