Need

People bemoan the fact that they are “needy”. They need this! They need that! And yet they recite the blessing every morning: "Blessed are You, Hashem, our G-d, King of the Universe, Who has provided me with my every need." This means very clearly that whatever I need, G-d provides; and if G-d hasn’t provided it, it’s a clear sign that I really don’t need it!

The continuing confusion most people have with what they 'need' and what they 'want.' Many times people will say I need (Fill in the blank) and what they really mean is I want (Fill in the blank). This time of the year makes this an even more confusing difference for many people.
