I'm being quite useful. This thing is a Thneed.
A Thneed's a Fine-Something-That-All-People-Need!
Wants vs Needs. What are my wants, and what are my needs?
In truth, most everything is a want, and very little is a need. Wants have names like Apple iPhone, Ikea Karlstad sofa, Twinkies, Diet Coke, or Chuck Taylor All-Stars.
Needs have names like water, air, food, shelter.
In this respect, needs have general, generic terms whereas wants are specific, branded products.
We may want more, but we also have more, and our happiness levels haven't changed. What have we gained, and what have we lost?
