In an economic subject that is
taught in the first grade of junior high, “Keinginan” means something that
people want to have it, but if people don’t have it any, it won’t be destroying
people’s life –sesuatu yang diinginkan manusia, tetapi apabila manusia tidak
memilikinya tidak akan mengganggu kelangsungan hidup manusia tersebut-. Yes,
keinginan can be called as wish, hope, or desire.
Different
with “Keinginan”, “Kebutuhan” can be meant as something that people have to
have it, if they don’t have it any it may cause a disaster for them or their
life. We don’t need to make ‘needs’ and ‘desires’ same. It is still different
with its meaning and its purpose. Yes, it’s kind of Hyper-Reason -lebay-.
Sometimes people make ‘needs’ as reasons to have something that actually
doesn’t make their life worse. But sometimes people thing that they don’t
really need it even they don’t want to have it, but they must have it or do it,
caused it’s needed.
In
several times, as a human, I wanted something that I thought it’s needed for
me, and I really wanted to have it. But I could not make it by myself. I needed
my parents or some people around me to help me making it real. I made it as my
wish, my hope, and my dream. But they looked my opinion just something that I
just could hope, wish, and dream. They didn’t thing that actually I needed it
and it’s needed for me. If I dare to explain them about my wish smoothly and say
it in good sentence carefully, all what I got is nothing. Sometimes they perceived
all what I want with jokes that are not funny. Yea, I know, it’s better to
answer with jokes than giving me false promises. I hope it wouldn’t make any
disaster to my life.
That’s
true to say that the thing I needed was expensive. Nah, because of that I told
them and have a purpose to purchase it to me, as my needs :p *as honesty* But I
knew, no one that is perfect. Look our brothers that don’t have any house. In
fact it’s one of the needs that people must have. They just have sleep in the
corner of the road, under the highway, or gone from a place to another where
they feel comfortable. House is a kind of need and desire for them. Most people
in this world have it already, wherever they live with their relation in this
house, at least they have a place to stay. If people thing that house is needed
for the have-nots, it should’ve been given to them. But people’ s thoughts are
different. We should know it’s needed or just a desirability. That’s all.
