Wants

 

Everyone wants something different and that is a good thing. It is what keeps the world going round and progress occurring.         

However, what I want and what is going to happen, or what is good for me, or what is good for the world, are not always the same things. Wants are not necessarily needs, or healthy, or for everyone.

For example, I want to eat lots of yummy carbs and sugar, but if I do I suffer from type two diabetes. My brother wants to eat bread and cake and rolls, but his celiac's disease prohibits that. My sister wants her daughter to be a normal person, but she is not.

In this world we all have to make adjustments for our own good and the common good. It isn't always a choice and may even be something we really don't want to do, but it may end up being the only choice. Then it happens, because logic says one must face the truth or suffer the consequences.

This is as cold and fast and true as the existence of gravity, or night and day. There are things beyond our control to change, so we have to change ourselves, our way of dealing with things must be altered to fit reality.
