"Give them what they want, not what they need. But many people would have a problem with the above statement. We want to give them what they need." Generally, most people don't have a clear understanding of what they want vs. what they need, and have even more confusions about what other people need. "So envelop what they need with what they want." Sure, that works fairly well. It's not the only approach. There are a whole set of teachings that go straight to the point. It is funny, because every time I bring it up to people, people have a lot of problems with that. Heheheh. The thing is, I know that there comes a time when what is needed is not anything at all like what is wanted, and it is impossible to envelop it with what is wanted. This is usually touching the deep truths, and the want results from attachment, from wanting to deny reality. Though now that I wrote that down, I'm rethinking about that too. Hmmm.
