We all need certain things such as food, water, and shelter. These are basic to all human beings actually to all beings in general. In order to survive we must have these things. We need them.
However, wanting is not the same as needing. We can want money, love, and power but they are not necessary to life. They may be goals or desires but we are not entitled to them. We must earn them. Achieve them.
Can we want too much? That depends on what it is. Too much of a good thing is not so good in the long run. Money becomes meaningless. Power corrupts. Material things accumulate. None of this really gives us happiness.
Love is the one thing that you can never want too much of. To be loved is what every human craves. We all want as much love as we can get.
There are conditions to love. It must be given freely to be truly a gift. It must not be used as a way to manipulate or control. Only freely given love is worth getting and giving.
Love can come from anywhere, a child, a pet, or a partner. It is the one universal thing that we all desire but we don’t need to live. People have been known to survive without love but it’s not much of a life when it happens.
In order to get love, you must give it without expecting it in return. Giving love may be as much of a desire as getting it. You can never love too much and only that will bring you love in return.
