STO, I can never find that owl when I need him. How can he be so wise if he's never around?

There are two ways to look at wants and needs. The first is to consider a need as a minimum. Sure, I want that brand new BMW, but I need a car, whatever kind I can afford, to shuffle me about. A need is something that you have to have to get by in your life, while a want is something you're dreaming about.

A second way to look at this is as a degree of desire. I might *want* to have sex with you, but if I *need* to have sex with you, watch out! I'll chase you around a room.

Of course, "you" in this instance was purely designed as a generic term.

Just my $0.02.
