342 Entries for “necessity”

  1. Food, shelter, water. We think of these biological needs as “necessity.” But we’re only human, governed by our feelings. When we attach ourselves to others, they become “necessity” as well. But still, we need some distance.

  2. I needed to get something. I needed it more than anything else. Once, there was a time when I didn’t have these needs. Now, I do. I need love. I need to be told “I love you”. I tell them but they won’t say it back. I need them to say that. It’s tearing me apart inside. It’s ripping up my soul not to hear it.

  3. Necessity is a need. Necessity is often confused with want. I graduated yesterday and went to a girl’s open house today that’s in my class. Her house was a small trailer. Not many people were at her party. And she had on really old clothes. I had on a new dress at my party and tons of friends were there. I am really blessed. I don’t need new clothes or more money. She does.

  4. Necessity versus desire? Do we even know the difference? Or has desire turned into necessity? Our culture is ever expanding into one of material and superficial values; it’s a downward spiral.

    Angela Merrill
  5. Food and water are necessity. Necessity includes things you cannot live without. Structure and medicine can be a necessity. Needs, not wants or desires.

  7. Necessity isn’t as important as people seem to think. It is a mere bonus to life. Who needs a big tv? Or a smoothie maker? There is no need for these things but we, as a human race have come to depend on them.

    Craig
  8. The need for something, the absolute need for something that you cannot live without. It is a necessity to have water, food, and love. Without it you do not live.

  10. In our world, we’ve lost our grasp with necessity. When we sit infront of a computer for 3 hours, or abandon those we love, we have lost touch with who we are as a society and as an individual. When will we find this again? Maybe never, but I for one am loved and know it.

  11. 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.

  12. Something that I need, can’t live without. Something that runs so deep that it’s rooted within me…I can’t live without it if it’s rooted in me…I wouldnt survive…

  13. GRAPES, APPLES, PEARS, IPOD THAT’S ALL I NEED TO SURVIVE ANY DAY. SIGH..AND A LITTLE BIT OF LOVE HELPS ME GET GOING. THESE ARE TRACI’S NECESSITIES. :)

  14. The one thing that we think we need, we truly don’t. Wants are not necessities, they are WANTS. Nothing more than a short lasting feeling of gratitude will come from that want, it won’t keep us living. Necessities will keep us living. things like food, water, and shelter are necessities, not that 800 dollar car, or that brand new sports car.

    Danielle
  15. Necessity. Nothing really is a necesseissty. If you think about it our world is so scheduled so organized in some places and some places not some people say things are a necessity but those people come from scheduled places

  16. out of necessity, she did it. she didn’t want to, she needed to. skulking about, peering around corners, she was stealth incarnate. she didn’t want anyone to know what she had become.

  17. people think of necessities in terms of food and shelter, but I think of art, music, theatre and film as necessities. they provide hope. and people need hope. it is necessary for life to continue.

  19. It was a necessity, it was as important as eating, or sleeping, or McDonald’s fries were to Aunt Sue. I needed that car to leave the god forsaken town and it was my only way out. It was my way to escape and this flat was about to fuck that up.

    Ellen
  20. The necessity of doing the cleaning was becoming quite obvious….the dust was gagging as was the smell of mustiness. The dishes were appallingly icky and just not something that anyone would want to deal with on a regular basis!

  21. gee gee gee gee baby baby baby gee gee gee gee ba ba baby baby

  22. Something I need, I want or think I need. A way of life. Food, water, love, friends, joy all things good. Like breathing or planting a tree or taking care of our home, the earth.

  23. It was a necessity to destroy the human race with the plasma canon to my only regret that it was only in my dreams. it’s sad that everyone is a fuck-tard may we all go down a river of doom
    the end.

  24. Something I need. I have love. I have family, friends, and happiness. I have a roof over my head and food on the table. But most of all, I have the air in my lungs. The only necessity for life. You just have to live.

  25. There is a necessity for spontaneity these days, everyone sees so structured. They say necessity if the mother of invention, how much need are we speaking of? lol

  26. Shampoo is a necessity. But sex is only a delicacy. Us humans take everything as a necessity.

  27. Is the mother of all invention. it drives us to great accomplishments, without necessity most of the world would sit around, doing nothing. Even without any context, it’s still a pretty word. the combination of the ‘c’ and the two esses makes it ring nicely in my head Necessity is what makes me get my chores done; sometimes necessity is my only motivation.

  28. something you need more than want, something you would die without, it makes sense that you have it in your life and it doesn’t make sense to be without it.

  29. It is a necessity to love. Without love, our souls are sad. I know this from expeirence. If you do not have love in your life you feel incomplete and empty. Love is necessary. Love makes the world turn. But with love, there will always be hate. Light and darkness, the constant struggle.

  30. What is a necessity? To me it’s something that you literally cannot live without. For me, a necessity would be food, water, shelter, but those are the bare minimums. After that I’d have to say tea, I cannot live without tea. Tea is my necessity.

  31. needing. without hesitation. now. until received, parched, prominent within the mind. please leave. i’m much more satisfied without you.

  32. You’re a necessity. Meaning I need you. Trust me. If I didn’t, I would wanna be a part of your life. I might be a necessary necessity in your life. That’s okay. You matter, you effect me, and I appreciate it. I hope you know how much I love you. Seriously. I promise.

  33. Arden didn’t think she was all that important at first. Just a girl in class that he knew and thought was pretty entertaining. He didn’t realize though…just how much of a necessity she would be in his life. Now he looks back on it and realizes just how much he would have missed out on if he hadn’t asked her out that night…if he hadn’t started talking to her.

  34. Sometimes you don’t have a choice. It might hurt you, might hurt people around you but there is no choice. People will tell you that you are wrong, that you always have a choice, but then they don’t know what happened to me on July 12th, if they did they might change their mind.

  35. Some thing in life are needed.. Some things we thing we need in our lives. Those things are the things that most often are like rocks… rocks tied to our ankles as they all watch us fight to get back to the surface. As you reach to cut the rope in only pulls harder down.. Then when you break the surface you can breath and you inhale deep and choke on what seems like the freshest air you have tasted. Now that is a necessity. Living life is the necessity…

  36. I’ve found through the years that, often enough, sacrifice is a necessity when attempting to reach any goal. No matter the ideal you have in mind, or the ways about you intend to accomplish said feat, it will require a cost of some sort. Whether in coins, in favors, in other assorted collectibles, in actions, or in any other unnamed payment form, you WILL pay. Such is the way of maintaining balance. Such is the way of the Fae.

  38. Its funny to think of the things we need. I always say i need a news dress or a new pair of shoes. But are they all really necessities? What about the people who have nothing. The ones who give up everything for something. What are their necessities? We forget how much we actually have. In our crazy world it’s funny to think about if we actually need the things we think we need.

    Bridgid
  39. Necessity. It is what I need. What I can’t live without. What I would die surely if it wasn’t a part of my life. I can’t go on throughout my existence if it were away from me. Your love. Drown me in it, and never save me. I need it. It’s a necessity.

  40. Nesscessities are food and water.
