What do Humans Really Want?
are wants, not needs, and we must know how to
curb our excessive wants, so that we do not over-
indulge in our desires.
Consider an art collector. He has run out of space
in his home, so he buys a second house to store
his collection. He puts in an alarm system to
guard against thieves. He buys insurance to protect
against floods and fires. He makes regular visits to
the house to check on their condition. All of these
add to his stress, which erodes the happiness he
should be deriving from his collection.

The age-old question remains what do people
really want? An immediate answer for this is
"happiness". Other questions may follow. "What is
real happiness?" Does happiness mean having a big
house or a lot of money? Does it include travelling
around the world or paying off one's debts? "What
do people really want?" is the question that has
remained unanswered for a long time. Some search
for happiness by hunting or fishing, and some enjoy
the night life, drowning themselves in alcohol
and ruining their health without even realizing it.
They think that they are happy, but they are merely
deluded. Their "happiness" can turn into misery in
an instant, such as when their health fails. We all
know that we want happiness, and we all try to look
for it, but most of us are looking for happiness in
the wrong places.
