Need

Need is when you really, really want or require something because it is very important for you to survive or to feel happy. For example, when you are hungry, you need food to eat; when you are thirsty, you need water to drink; when you are tired, you need rest and sleep to regain energy. You also may need things to keep you safe and healthy, like clothing to keep you warm or medicine to help you feel better when you are sick.

Sometimes, you may want things that are not necessary for your survival, like toys or video games. These are called "wants," and they are not as important as needs. Needs are things that you must have to live a healthy and comfortable life.

Everyone has different needs depending on where they live, what they do, and who they are. For example, a person who lives in a hot place might need more water than a person who lives in a cool place. Or, a person who is very active might need more food than a person who sits behind a desk all day.

It is important to prioritize your needs over your wants, especially when your resources (like money or time) are limited. You should try to meet your needs first, and then use any extra resources to fulfill your wants.
