Answer 1

no....today, it seems that way because advertisement and the culture tries to get you to buy stuff to keep the economy going...As a wiseman once said..I go by three principles...never argue about religion, politics or sex...why? it gets people irrational and unable to see beyond their emotions. This is why the rest of the world often refers to americans as 'the stressed out guiny pigs'...subtly implying they need us to be stressed out gaining more and more so the world can keep on going due to the consumerism...their products, etc. Sexually frustrated with media putting messages to become sexually prone...and the competition initiation...are all things 'implanted' to help the economy and the companies...but they make you stirred and stressed out, seeking for more, and in the end, often feeling frustrated and empty handed, never leading to more happiness... even if you acheived the goals..realizing the superficiality of the endeavour.

Let me just give you an example--over the course of 3 decades...we have become many many times richer as a nation. But we have become much more unhappy, frustrated, and dissapointed with life and 'the american dream'
But in truth, no, as Buddha said, the strongest sympton of suffering is the misinformed desire, or need.

If you realize that they are inconsequential to your happiness...and rather make you more stressed out than what it brings. You will realize to calm your soul and equalize the need...If you get rid of the need altogether, you get rid of suffering. You don't have to get rid of it altogether, but step back, smell the roses, quit being a 'guiny pig'...and realize you can be happy if you are in more harmony with yourself...You will find inner peace, and the entertainment will become more apparent to you as a passtime, rather than a source of happiness..

Happiness comes from inside...and from giving to others. This has been shown study after study. Those that are selfish, become overly anxious and frustrated in the end, leaving the selfish empty handed. When you form relationships, give back, and do good deeds, you are full at all times. This has no religious conotation. Its actually a neural chemical fact. Peopel that are more selfish are most likely to become depressed over time and frustrated with bigger outbursts of rage (and then anger management). I suggest you go and read buddhism and the yoggies I think it will help you a lot.

Answer 2

No. here is why:
from 10 you wanted games, so all you did was to end up with those games. You missed all sorts of things because you where too preoccupied with games.

at 15 wanting a computer, you lost more of your life looking in computer stores, reading computer magazines etc.

at 17 wanting porn, you lost more of your life to read (OK that may be a bit too much to suggest) what ever porn you could find.

at 19 wanting a laptop was just as time consuming.

and so on.

So wanting is not life, it's just wasting time.

Life is coming though a bad illness, or injury, and not wanting to let a single second escape not being used properly.
Or, if you can, realising that wanting is a disability and refusing to allow it to affect your life, lets you live.

Answer 3

I do love my existence, yet I continually idea my existence would entail me travelling in yet another united states of america and spending my days skydiving, or being a professional athlete. I have travelled rather plenty interior the previous, yet i'm no longer longer waiting to. My desires of being a professional athlete were shattered as a results of harm, and travelling is out of the question for various causes. i do not care a lot about the travelling as a lot as I do my athletic occupation-- that become my dream. although, I type of imagine that is a good element, because i have advanced a good more suitable activity for the humanities, as well as for regulation-- and really, i have advanced an appreciation for existence-- extremely my personal. even with each little thing I have continued, and proceed to bear, I have a damn good existence, and that i do not plan to lose a 2d of it on self-pity. So if truth be told, that become the existence I -idea- that I desperately had to stay. Now i keep in mind that i do not. My existence isn't appropriate, even though it is completely proper for me. :) ?

Yes that's kind of true. Even when someone doesn't want anything in life, that's still wanting not to have anything.

Answer 6

Wanting more life.

Answer 7

No, it's making the most of what you do have and appreciating what you've got. The 'more' comes naturally with time, patience, and experience.

Answer 8

life?
do you define life as lived only by humans ?
animals have no life then...they have the ability to be satisified with what they have
and what of amoeba? do they want television sets too?

Answer 9

YES. LIFE IS ALWAYS WANTING MORE. What makes us different, is that we all want different things.

Answer 10

You can look at it that way. If you wanted absolutely nothing, you'd die. So sure, it can be wants (or needs).
