necessity
Necessity. A word that very often loses its real meaning. What does the word "necessity mean? To most people, its a phone or a laptop or a pair of shoes. These people feel that in order for their lives to be a truly enjoyable experience, they must clutter themselves with objects that have no meaning to the world but somehow mean the world to them. But honestly, whats the joy in gluing your eyes to a screen all day until they burn to death? The word "Necessity" should mean something that you absolutely cannot live without. Food, water, medicine. These are all necessities. But More theoretically, friends and family are absolute necessities. Throw your cell phone into the ocean, you'll survive just fine. Throw your family into the ocean, live an unhappy life.
