Wants, Needs and Life

What you want in life, is what you won't get
What you don't want in life, is what you will get

As one of my friends say, life takes care of your needs. But, it does not take care of your wants. This makes sense does it?

Most of us remain unhappy throughout our lives, trying to fulfil our wants. We do not understand that we can be happy as our needs are fulfilled. But, then - is it okay to be content with our needs being met? What if everybody in this world was content, where will human race then stand in terms of progress and development?

Why do we need to Progress?
Bigger question - What is progress?

This puts us back in the circle; vicious circle of our wants and needs. There is a very thin line between wants and needs. As we move on with our lives slowly our wants becomes our needs, this leads us to development, progress, innovation and inventions. Then again there is a question - what is the need for all this progress? As we can be happy without it too.

I believe life should be kept as simple as possible, but that is very hard to achieve in this world of materialism.
