Wants and needs

If we could create a culture where we ensured everyone’s needs, we wouldn’t be afraid to give away our last dollar. Or to share it at least.

But we live in a culture that’s focused on wants, regardless of whether needs are met.

And when we prioritize wants over needs, we can never fully address the needs of others... because our wants — the kind that seem to drive our culture — those wants are never fully satisfied.
