If You Don't Receive Something You "Need", You'll Die

In an older entry, I stated how the the definition of the word "need" has become hazy to me. The word "need" has an absolutely un-hazy definition. Since I don't think I need most things, I thought I had a different perception of the definition of the word "need" than the general public. Often, for a thing a person says he or she "needs", that person actually doesn't need that thing at all. Merriam-Webster.com defines "need" as: a situation in which someone or something must do or have something. Basically, if you "need" something, you must have it or you will die. Humans only "need" water, food, and shelter. Nobody "needs" a lot of friends. We only develop friendships and fall in love to keep us "normal".
