What is the difference between a want and a need? Can they be the same thing or is there always a contrast in making a comparison? Reply and say what you think, if you want…

Thanks for getting the ball rolling here, Anthony! 😀
Yes, people quite often do seem to use these words in a very similar way. Since I’m a big fan of Wittgenstein, I also agree with him that which ever way people use words is more or less “exactly” what those words mean to them.
A good example of this is the English word “pavement”, which is often used to mean what Americans would generally refer to as a “sidewalk”.
For me, I guess a “need” is something I require to feel OK — in other words, without it I would not feel complete, healthy, well, or anything like that. A “want” is simply a “nice to have”, it’s not required at all.
And that fits this site well: There are no requirements here, everything is optional! 😀
