The Middle Path

What you need is not the same as what you want,

Just as what you want is not the same as what you crave or want to flaunt

A need is a fundamental requirement,

A want is more often than not just an amusement

A craving is like an urgent unjustifiable hunger,

A temporary overpowering and unsettling desire

Giving in to your desires is often a question of morality and ethics,

A question that deserves your deep thought and a lot of merit

So always weigh your desires to decide if they indeed do have any merit

Do they really need a fulfillment or are they only greed and avarice ?

Avarice is almost like an unsatiable lust,

It always leads down a path of destruction and loss of respect and trust

So do not give in to your heart's every wave of desire,

To save yourself from Hell's burning fire

Taking a middle path is the way to be, as said the Great Gautam Buddha,

It is the surest way to lead a life of peace and Good Karma.
