Just Another Day

Only it isn't. Went back to work for part of the day today. The 2 inch scar in my back looks pretty cool. Not that anyone cares. But if they would care, would they case because they want to, have to or need to? And, what's the difference?

Well, "have to" is easy to dismiss. Who hasn't been told they "have to" do this or that? There's nothing gained in that. Have to's, as they relate to people are those who feel a burden out of some deep guilt that was laid on them in their youth or other subjective moment. Have to's don't "have to" - they just do because they don't know otherwise.

What about the "need to" person. It sounds reasonable. They have a desire, a need to do something for other people. But why? What makes them do it? Why do they feel they need to? I really don't want "need to's" either. If someone has a need to do something them it's a burden for them and doing something is only self-fulfilling. It focuses inward instead of outward.

So, what about "want to's?" Well, let's see. If someone wants to do something for you it reflects on their personality. It still doesn't mean that it will happen, but at least the attitude is right. And, isn't THAT what it should be about? I mean, if someone's attitude isn't right about the reason for doing something then why do it? It's only self-serving.

Think about four walls. What's so special about four walls? Why do we take comfort in four walls and why do we never seem satisfied with only three? More musings next time, bloggers! Think about walls . . . .
