”need” had a conversation with ”want”

need: ” man you are cluttering up this joint, the slightest whim and you are off again in search of the missing part”

want spoke up and said: ” it’s not just stuff, i earned these things and it gives me a little joy to play with my toys and i don’t see anything wrong with that”

need replies: ”some things i can see, but you have an abundance of things you don’t need. they get in the way and after a few days you rarely touch them again.”

want gets pissed and insists:” everyone has things they like and over time things do begin to accumulate, but i just can’t throw them away, i may need them at some time in the future”

need shakes his head: ” I heard what you said, but you are way off the mark. things are just things and they come and go. Things that are just for us really don’t amount to much. things that last are the place to put your time and energy, like friends, family and faith. if your focus isn’t on these then you are like wind passing through the trees, a puff of air then you are gone.”

want looks puzzled and stomps off: as he is walking a thought crosses his mind,” maybe….i’m wrong”
