This is a different philosophy/theory than I was going to talk about before. I can't remember a certain word so that one isn't working right now...heh. So we'll go with my "Wants and Needs" theory.

What the whole thing essentially boils down to is in the end all needs are born from a want, and that want is usually wanting to live. You need food because you want to live. There is nothing that actually forces you to live. There is no real NEED to live. I'm not saying I don't want to live. I want to live very much. Life is not necessary whether you believe in God, Allah, Reincarnation, or nothing at all. It's something you want to protect and cherish because it's all we really have that we can hold for sure.

It gets confusing when you get into things like I need a good grade on this paper because I want to pass this class because I need to pass this class in order to get my degree which I want because it's the field I like and need because it's going to pay for my food because I want to live. Yeah...it's weird I know...but it's one of those things that I think about....when people are saying "need need need" I'm always wondering what they want...

I know the want to live is an instinct...so it's more of a desire than a simple want. It's something you desperately want...but it's still not a need? I think..bah.

I'll try to clean it up later...it's a lot more confusing than normal...usually it's a lot clearer and more concise...I'm semi-braindead so I can't find the words I want that eliminate a lot of the round-about beating around the bush stuff....I blame the roofers not letting me get more than 2.5 hours of solid sleep before attacking the roof...gar...
