want need desire
love lust hate

I think we all just need a gelato.

I'll second that motion!

why can't you get what you want? why can't you want things that can never happen? wh y people push you towards wanting things the average person can get (and thereby dooming you to mediocrity)?

"You can't always get what you want
"You can't always get what you want......

"But if you try sometime.......You might find.......You get what you need"...........

er..screw that. Just try and get whatever you want. Who cares.

Hmm....mediocrity, like most things, is defined differently by every person. For example, some might see mediocrity as never striving for personal success, just doing "little bits" here and there to "help the world", while never advancing your own position in it. A lot of power to change the world can be gained by so-called selfish pursuits like personal career advancement, acquisition (sp?) of wealth, etc. So you might say that you can't be benevolent and giving and unselfish without first propelling your own self "up" to be in a position to do so.

If that makes sense.

A lot of people just don't know what they really want and they get in the way all the more decisive people.

And there is absolutly nothing wrong with wanting. Wanting is healthy and natural. If you didn't want anything you'd have no initiative and no reason and be terribly depressed. Even people who are completely content and at peace tend to WANT to stay content and at peace.

I agree.
