Wants and Needs



Needs VS Wants. As usual Wants win.

A friends told me that a way to let Needs win is to have contentment. But who will satisfied with what they having. "Ask For More" Janet's song i said.

An equation or should i say 'self-made theory' of mine for the satisfaction level and wants.:-

When satisfaction hits 2, wants go for 3. There are none fixed optimum level of satisfactory, there will only be overtaking by wants when each optimum satisfaction level reached. Wants will always be in front of the achieved optimum satisfactory level, and a higher optimum satisfactory level born.

In short, wants is always > satisfaction. lol. Acting as i am so clever creating equation without proper research. lol

Anyway, there are things in life that we really want, and there are things in life that we really need. Maryam Toson just sent us this creative which explores this very idea. She titles the refreshingly honest series, "Wants/Needs Project.". Oh, by the way, Maryam Toson is a photographer and poet. Talented and hardworking, and also young.

"The main purpose of it, was to question people, and yourself, as to what is it that you really WANT and that you really NEED," says Toson. "Is it the same? Is it different? Do they relate? Or do they have nothing to do with each other. Most people confuse the things they want as something they need.", she added. She is shooting 'I WANT, I NEED' in different parts of the word like Egypt and the draw comparisions and spark dialogue around the similarities and differences.

So, i am not going to comment much since i guess everybody knows what is wants and what is needs. By the way, is a random post. And a big compliments to Maryam Toson and her works. Ending of this post i share some of her works. Nice.
