It is my strongly held belief that the richest people on earth are the ones who lack desires while the poorest ones desire the most. It is a simple yet complicated notion because it is a natural feeling to want things. But wanting things ultimately leaves us empty.
Many of us confuse “wants” with “needs.” To survive, humans need very little: sustenance and shelter. These things are absolute necessities for human survival on our planet, so it is fair to say that we need food, water and housing.
