from the mind of critic-7/6/17

From the mind of critic: “If we have to do what we have to do, so we can do what we want to do, what do we have to do? Do we all need to do the same things, because we all want the same things? Are we implored to do something different, because our wants are unique by virtue of being human? Do we all have the same basic needs, but different wants depending on our background? In a nutshell, we have basic needs and wants that all humans have, and unique needs and wants based on environment, culture and upbringing. To know the difference between the “unique” and “basic”, we must figure out what we want. This can be diificult, but gets easier with practice. Once we realize that our needs and wants are constantly evolving as we evolve, we’ll see that none of us know what we truly want, but the more we vigilantly ask the tough questions, we’ll see that our needs and wants aren’t in coflict with others, but in symbiosis. We can’t know what we want, without knowing what we need. If we don’t know what we need, how will we know what others need? How can we know somebody without knowing ourselves?” 🙂
