Needs and wants: a 33 year old's temper tantrum


People must realize that even with all these comforts, all this money and a GNP that increases every year, they are still not happy. They need to understand that the real culprits are our unceasing desires. Our wants have no end.
-His Holiness the Dalai Lama, "Imagine All the People"



Well thank you Dalai Lama for depressing me. Yes, I was aware that my wants have no end. And that is just upsetting. I really want to go to Victoria's Secret and use my gift certificate for $15 off the new Angels bra. But then I have to ask myself, is it a want or a need? Damn Fuad for putting that saying in my head. Grrrr... Why can't I just be the 3 year old I want to be and kick and scream until I get to buy that shiny new bra?!? Oh and maybe I want some of that wonderful new lotion that makes me smell like butter cream frosting too.
