Needing

So the subject of needing has come up,

and I've decided there are two kinds of needing:

Sometimes when somebody needs something,

they actually need it,

like life will not go on if they do not have it.

Take oxygen for example,

if you do not have oxygen,

you will die.

Then there is the type of needing,

where you won't die if you don't have it,

but you might come close.

Or you may not,

depends on how bad you need it.

Like a person.

Someone asked me if we really "needed" someone.

No,

we probably don't.

At least not the type of needing from above.

A different kind.

A kind of need where we want really badly.

And we feel we have to have it,

to make life go on.

But really it's a hyperbole,

and we will not die if we don't have it.

Like people.

Unless someone's threatening your life

unless you find someone,

then you might die.

But if this situation comes up,

then call the police, 

because it is not a healthy one to be in.
