Wants vs Needs

under General Stuff at 7:44 pm on September 10th, 2008

I’m sure everyone was told as a kid to categorize needs into “wants” and “needs”. Well, last night I learnt that I must do the same with things I had to do. Can’t believe I never thought of it earlier. I’m sure I must have gone with doing the thing that I wanted to do versus the thing I needed to at least half a million times already in my life. Though having to do the thing you need to over the one you want to feels like shit, I guess its important. I have a feeling I’ll have to do this a lot in the next few months. So if you see me pick things that I don’t particularly enjoy doing over ones which I love, know that I’m not crazy :P

For those who have no idea wtf I’m going on about, try figuring out why putting “theory to practice” is so important to me :)

US and Iraq

Well, I don’t really like politics. I don’t really follow much of it either. But as many of you may know, I do like to debate things out. So I do use the knowledge that I have to do my best. There was a thread somewhere on the Messenger Plus! forums about whether US should come out of Iraq or not for which I wrote a post on notepad because my net wasn’t working.

Why am I posting it here now? Its just something I had written which seemed interesting. Ages ago there was a whole thing in India about reservations. As usual I tried not to add fuel to the fire by saying anything on the topic but at last I did say something. I typed it out and to this day, I didn’t publish it. I still have it set to private. Only one person other than me has ever seen it. Well, its my view and I think it has the right to be put forth. After all, that’s the whole point of debating. Still, why am I posting this now? Well, I just thought this was something interesting. I don’t often get to write and when I do, when I really want to, I enjoy it :) So I thought I might as well post this. As for the other article, not sure when I’ll make the contents public. Though if any of you are lucky, I might let you read it (if you ask me) :P

The issue is dead more or less now (in respect to the fact that no one’s discussing it though nothing to my knowledge has changed). So you can read this just as an article. Nothing less. Nothing more. In fact, I’m not sure of what exactly I’ve said. That’s how old this is :P

The question was “Should there be a deadline to bring the troops back home?” And here’s my answer..
