About This Quote
You will never find peace when the need you cling to is not the want you desire. But when does a want become a need... when it is all you think about? At some point, we must let go of what we think we need and start seeing the world as it truly is. The truth is that if we live our lives clinging to what we think we need, we will always be dissatisfied.
What we must learn is that many things that we think we need are actually just wants. If we can allow ourselves to see this truth, then the world will most likely reflect what we want. It may not happen overnight, but it is certainly possible to see the world as it is and not as we wish it were.
