Dear Humans,

I’ve often talked with my daughters about the difference between want and need. You want a Crumbl cookie, but you don’t need a Crumbl cookie. Even if their marketing makes you think so.

And yet, what we all really need most in this life is some other people we can trust. We build that trust by providing for each other–our time, our attention, and sometimes our treats. Because the line between want and need isn’t always as obvious as we think; so we provide both.

So be stingy with your own wants, but generous in satisfying the wants of others. They need it.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
