I forwarded this to a friend that has lost sleep worrying over a relative in a less than ideal financial state among other areas of concern. Sometimes it is hard to remember that what *you* think someone may need and what *they* think they need are often two totally different

That is good stuff. I had to learn this less about both of my parents, sadly. My dad especially gets confused about the difference between wanting and needing.

I subscribed to that feed, it looks like it might be full of good stuff.

This was a big hanging point in my therapy...wanting and needing. I don't know the difference, but in the opposite of what one might think....so i just do without. To me its about deserving and conserving. I would not deny a thing to another person, but I am very stingy with myself. It's difficult to indulge unless i can justify.
