Appetite

Appetite is a descriptive word for
what we need in life.

Appetite for food. for company. for sleep. for art. for sex.

Or appetite suppression. People feel the need to deny themselves things that they crave.

But maybe it's not crave. Maybe it's need.

Appetite implies that there is a stopping point. This is where I believe people confuse "want" and "need". We want a bite of chocolate (which means our body is craving and needing something that is inside of that chocolate) and we satisfy this by eating an entire quarter of chocolate cake. The key is to find where we are satiated.

Where we feel satisfied.
