There is much power in the spoken and written word, and how each one of us defines a particular word in the chronicle of our own life path often influences the outcome of that life. It is, therefore, of particular importance that we know and understand the definition of those words which we use to define ourselves.
here I would disagree in as much that with such wrrds a Need and Needy, they are descriptive and it in the context they are used which they will seem to be either positive or negative. I rather fancy it is more important to: - Used such words carefully in a positive manner.
- Understand how you define them in the context of your own situation.
I would agree that, for instance, when using the word need in the context of:
The need for air, food and water is essential for the preservation of life.
or
My car is in need of a tune-up or it may fail to start.
This would certainly be correct within the framework of the sentence, and most definately a valid presumption in both cases (both the body and the car would most likely expire).
but
"I have the need for speed."
What? You'll sit in a corner and suck your thumb if you can't go fast?
My premise here is that there is certainly a place for both words, but that the misuse of a word can often place a negative spin on a subject that requres positive action.
