Ask a toddler what he wants: it will be the company of his/her mother and some love. He would be delighted to get sweets or chocolates occasionally. Their want and need are simple. Ask someone in the ’30s what they want most and what they need most. On most occasions, there will not be asymmetry. …

What is love for a divorcee or broken heart? Is it the same as sold to us by the advertisement industry, books, or media?What is the meaning of Christ, sermon, festival to an atheist? How much of his vice/virtue depends on the teaching of the Holi Bible? Does this makes an atheist, divorcee, or broken …
outside
Social media has amplified our want for attention. We have become so isolated that random strangers comment, like, or appreciation are needed to uplift our mood.

standards
I keep hearing and sometimes argue over specifications, be it a product or design. We have their specific standards or best practices defined.
