Need to want to need...

Deficiency of a few things in life may cause severely negative outcomes: food, clothing, shelter, water, even love. These things are indispensable for subsistence and are categorized as ‘needs’. They are often subjective and felt differently by people. There is a frequent mix-up of needs and wants and the underlying emotional tone of needs and wants time and again adds to the confusion.

• I need to get through this exam
• I need to lose 5 kgs this month
• I need a new outfit for the prom
• I need this new job desperately
• I need to teach him a lesson
• I need to win the beauty contest

Needs have been a favored topic of discussion by philosophers, psychologists as well as politicians. Needless to say; everyone has needs!
