My mother taught me, wanting is bad. When you want something, you don’t deserve it. You deserve things by being humble, and not wanting them. You don’t ask to buy you a new toy, you can hint, maybe, or better yet, just show interest but don’t say you want it. My father taught me by actually not wanting almost anything. My grandmother told me, “who wants a lot, gets little”. Supposedly, if you want little, you get a lot. Or a lot, compared to your needs, or desires. When you grow up, it is so hard to recognize your needs and your desires, and so easy to become what others expect you to be.
