What do You REALLY Need?

I don’t know why I thought these words… I think it is because some of the students I used to work with now carry guns… and I feel like they are so lost in this life.

“You can get what you WANT with a gun in your hand, but you can get what you NEED with a ‘please’ and a smile upon your lips.”

There is a lot to think about in these words, both literally and metaphorically, and too many examples throughout the world today where these words are applicable. I hope you spend some time thinking… honestly thinking… but I am interested in one particular question, especially if you are a man, or identify as a male.

“What do you really NEED in this world, and how are you going about securing these needs? Do you use a “gun” or a “smile?” Are you a “threat” or are you a “help?” Do you wish to dominate or defend the rights of others to pursue their own “needs?”

That is all I have. Thank you for reading.
