Needs and wants

Every time I am at the countryside I´m stunned.

Amazed by the beauty of the stars, only visible in the darkness far away from our artificial lights in the cities.

When I go back, more and more brighter lights cross my path and slowly, one-by-one, stars become invisible, only the knowledge of them being there remains with me. As well as the hope to see them again someday.

We live in a world where many people want to convince us that the "wants", compulsive ideas of possessing, consuming, certain things, ideas, are actually "needs", things, ideas, spirits we need to survive, sustain or enhance ourself.

We have lived in this world for so long that we actually forgot what our "needs" are and are confusing them with our "wants".

Maybe because the "wants" are easier, quicker to gain, capture, maybe because due to the world we created for ourselves the "wants" shine brigther than our "needs". Because sometimes when people are delivered into places of the utmost darkness they can see the stars again and return a different being. Happy. Freed.

Taking a good look at oneself can have a suprising outcome, realizing what ones "needs" are...

Those are not my ideas, I´m just a medical student with too much oxygen in his blood and brain after his workout and a calm mind because during his workout he saw stars(gotta work on that respiratory capacity...)

Train hard and enjoy every moment.

All the best,
