     I think people nowadays have become desensitized  to words. We use and abuse them and we never really stop to consider the real meaning behind the words we say, especially what it signifies when we say "I want". To want doesn't mean "I would like" or "it would be convenient for me". No, to want is to Desire and to desire is to long for, to crave. Desire is an essential in that it is as great as need and yet it is more than need, because a need is something we fulfill so that we can continue and obtain what we desire. We survive to achieve our desires, these are our reasons for living. If anything, a person's desire reflects who they are more than who they are and what they have because those are subject to circumstance, desire is boundless.


     Also, the topic of fairness and justice came up in a conversation I had today and it was pointed out to me that fairness is a construct of society. I had never thought about that before. How has this construct come about? How has the evolution of it affected us and what we consider justice today? What would society be like today if this construct had never developed?
