And, of course, it’s not in any way possible that I was ever poor enough to have to live on nothing but that for weeks at a time myself.
Of course, I did use spices. And I didn’t need spices, so I’m conflating want and need. Unless I have beans and vegetables that are already spoiled which I dug out of the dumpster in cloudy water with no spices, I don’t know the difference between need and want.
Jesus fucking Christ. Have you ever even had to live like that for an extended period of time? It’s absolutely awful. It’s torture.
But I don’t know the difference between needs and wants because I didn’t get down to the absolute basest way a human being can survive.
