In modern society, where most people live in cities, and where both needs and wishes are absolved through the same remote agency - money - the distinction between wishes and needs has altogether vanished.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think there is a very powerful wish that we all have of being self-contained and having sort of opted out or choosing to remove ourselves from society and to have no ties and no obligations, and even no possessions. To be free in a particular way.
To deal with individual human needs at the everyday level can be noble sometimes.
The dividing line between wish and need was never clear.
One of the strangest things about life is that the poor, who need the money the most, are the ones that never have it.
I don't wish for anything. Wishing for a million dollars feels greedy. I just wish for the best for me.
I've never been a person to wish for stuff - I just take it as it comes.
Where there is life there is wishful thinking.
I don't believe that wishing works. I think we get the things we work for.
No wishes are silly, no dreams remain dreams, for those committed to clear and definitive goals.
Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.
