Step into the third world.

We've watched many videos about first world problems. The jeans pocket isn't big enough to fit your large-screen phone, WiFi isn't fast enough, there's no pizza restaurant nearby and all that. But I think that we're forgetting to distinguish between our needs and wants.

You see, what we NEED is good food made at home. What we WANT is nicely presented food that tastes really good but isn't of any good to our body. What we NEED is some way of acquiring knowledge and connecting to the internet, what we WANT is really fast WiFi to watch that TV show about some college dude who's dating because those around him think it's cool.





I think we're all guilty, because we're not happy about life and that's because we don't differentiate our needs from our wants. I think that once we realise what we need, and what we don't want (which is a lot, honestly), our lives will have so much more happiness.
