Confusion
Results of taking the time
to analyze a thought clearly
Clarity
Ability to see that
which might have hope
Hope
The longing for
something you desire
Desire
Is a two way street
Leading to commitment
Are you committed to realizing
That the confusion you feel
may be the desire and hope
that can lead you to
what you Clearly need

I've been thinking about this "want and need" issue more.

Let's see if I can think it through clearly.

You need something. Then you get it. Then you don't NEED it anymore, 'cause you HAVE it. and here's where confusion comes in, because WANT and NEED feel pretty much the same. For example, I WANT tequila, but what I need is more water. And then, there is the ever helpful opinions of others--like, um, MINE. Because while I NEED the water, there are some who would prefer I drink the tequila, because I am more pleasant when I have what I want instead of what I merely "need".



Does that make sense? *laughing*

Love ya Rich--and it will work out, and I'm really sorry you're having a rough time of it, especially at this time of year.

But you will make it. I have more than a little faith in you.
