Okay, I felt this should be a thread instead of a blog. But I did get the idea from a blog that I had read on here. The main point is to discuss your feelings on wants and needs.
We all have those moments when we want something so bad that we claim we need it. I find this most prevalent in small children who want a candy bar or toy in a store. But it seems to be around a lot more in young adults like myself. I hear all the time how kids my age need a cell phone or need certain clothes. You don't, you want them and you can most definitely live without them. It seems reversed for me though. My mother says I need to have a cell phone, but what she really means is she wants me to have one. For those just in case I get lost moments. I hate cell phones, so I constantly refuse.
So how do you guys feel about the whole want vs need thing? And, if you care to share, when have you claimed to need something you wanted or vice versa?
