"One who desires nothing, is one who needs nothing."

 There are many perceptions about life, values, likes and dislikes. But almost unilaterally, no one would dispute that needs are suppose to be met in order to live. If one determines an activity or conditions that need to be met, then that is all that is necessary. However, when it comes to our lives, one may always find something new that they want, thus could become necessary for their life. So then how does anyone distinguish between what is necessary, and what is not. 

One simple way to distinguish between these assumptions is by our desires themselves. But on the other hand, that notion in of itself is a loss of reality. In essence because one might initially believe that there is a distinction and there should be a difference, otherwise everything, one could need is just a want. 

If one is just collection of wants or desires. Then it could be that our wants are actually more important than our needs. If one was to analyze the quote, "I have a will to live" (N/A). Does that constitute a desire to live or a need to live. Even with simplistic examples to give a repositioned approach to what is life's necessities. One will also like to know if the passion of ornaments or happenings in life are concrete. In lies the understanding that one may place value on something merely because they need it or want it. But this has consequences that shape our very lives themselves. 

If one looks at the notion that people are creatures of habitat, or that one obligates themselves to being present an awareness of their wants, desires or other notions of belief in conceptions of life's importances. Then in either case, one can extend the preconceived notions that wants and desires are part of us. But could be understood as tools, rather then engrained mechanisms that one may never be able to live without. Now the focus is not on where these mechanisms came into being or apart of our lives. But rather, then dwelling on oscillating effects or conditions that are the nature of wants, desires or needs. One could look beyond these contraptions, as though looking through a key whole of a door. In understanding the mechanics of how one works, then one has the potential to open the door to new opportunities. However, the space or situations in one's life are not always the same. Thus, the doors that one can open might be very different in shape or size, distance to travel, contrasted. 

Even if one walks through these new found openings, the differences on the other side will be differentiated based on the person's own perceptions, opportunity or divisiveness. So keeping track of the distinctions is also as important as first becoming aware of them. In some respect, one may argue that a person is nothing more than an accumulation contrived or contorting puzzle pieces. Unlike regular puzzles, each having there own unique place to create a picture or finish the game. People's pieces are not unilaterally decisive because are puzzle is life. Each step one takes, each word, every action is one of the pieces changing its shape, in order to suit its place. One to look at the puzzles of our lives is to understand it as multifaceted, or having many puzzles going on at once. Sometimes one finds that one puzzle actually leads to another, or rather pieces are connected to more than one aspect of what occurs in life. 

So even the normalization of desires, wants or needs further be contorted or contrasted in which place even the simple notions of trusting the mechanisms or understanding can overall change the placement of each of the pieces that may fit one way; however, not another way. 

In delving into our lives, or understanding are wants, desires, needs, one better ascertain what pieces of our puzzle we are attempting to solve. But in many people's experiences in life rarely stays calm, or frozen with design that one has always solved every puzzle. Life continues to flow with passage of time and expectations. Even the puzzles that that have been started do not always become finished before one starts a new puzzle. Even when new doors open people will be leaving behind what is left in the previous room. Another way to interpret it would be to describe as previous mechanisms that once were discovered are now changed or added too. While the needs and desires are crafting, framing the path that one's life will take. 

Despite the complex natures that arises from needs, desires, and ultimately may influence a person's being, life, or expectations, they have simplicity to how they function. What adds further complexity is the volume of life's needs, desires, and along with other people's expectations. 

The interwoven aspects that make our lives possible, contributes towards the choices and ability to venture into the unknown is part of the notions that people are warranting each-other's notions or legitimacy in function of life. This is not to disprove or dissuade, other point of proportional design of personal interactions for one own's meaning. But it is worth noting the concurrent interconnectedness of what is occurring for one person is possibly  occurring in another.

Even the state of one's mind can virtually be infinite, the determination of freedom or of control, the realizations of the mechanisms that are subjecting, wants, needs could be interpreted or argued are guilds to opening more possibilities, solving our puzzles, helping us move forward in any direction we want to go. It depends though if one chooses to note even understanding anything, everything, or nothing will influence the changes that are possible or allow what doors may open for us. If one realizes that a person's wants are nothing; then are wants, desires and needs are nothing, unworthy of ourselves. The value in each of these contraptions or assumptions are prolific when they are perceived or created in our own perspectives. One unilaterally holds the value in what is valuable in one's life.
