Wants and Needs

Oh, man...Aren't you just frustrated when faced with choosing between something you want and need? Everyday we are given so much choices and since we are responsible beings (sabi nila...), we have to discern between what we want and what we need. Why is it that the things that we want are so much attractive than the ones we need?

I've been obsessing about getting new alloy wheels for my van. What I'm eyeing is not expensive but still quite pricey if you consider that the ones in place are doing its job just fine. But you want it and you obsess about it! Yes, it would give the van a makeover in terms of appearance but that's just about it. Then there's that italian made steering wheel. Again, pricey and would not improve the van's performance but, hey, it's still beatiful.

On the other hand, I really have to get one of the three auxilliary fans of the van replaced. It's not even the tenth of the cost of the two things that I've been obsessing about. I can even have it done now! But what's stopping me? I really don't know. There are a lot of reasons that come to mind but one fact is clear, I NEED to do it as soon as possible.

Sige na nga, bukas na lang...
