What do you want?

In life there are needs and wants. Needs such as food, water and air are essential to life. Wants such as diamonds, designer sunglasses and so forth are not essential to life. However they are closely related to each other. One may need food, but one may not need to order pizza while there is already food (like a boring salad) in your fridge. But wants, not needs seems to take precedence in a lot of things.

Someone got my thinking. I want a lot of things in life. Happiness, good heath, good friends, a good partner, diamonds, designer sunglasses, a mansion! But can our pursuits of these wants prevent us from actually living life? Will these pursuits prevent us from taking the path life meant for us to be on? Our wants change over time. When you think you want something one day, you may just forget about it the next day. Our own goals and the goals of others that we may know can effect lives.

What do I want? I want to smile, laugh, kiss, hug, cuddle, eat, read marvelous books...I want to be happy. I think I might just go with the flow for a while and see where that takes me. I like mysteries...I like the mysteries of life. So lets see where I'll end up!
