I myself think that a good king is from the start a philosopher out of necessity, and that a philosopher is from the start also a kingly person.

talks about when we change
What changes, I think, are our circumstances. As we grow older, we’re thrust into new situations. We get our first job. We may get married. Our parents get older, and we find ourselves their caretakers. Often, these new situations call on us to act differently than we used to. And, because there’s no species on the planet more adaptable than ours, we change. We rise to the occasion.
In other words, we change when we need to. Necessity is the mother of adaptation.

Workers identify themselves as having:
a job (“I view my job as just a necessity of life, much like breathing or sleeping”),
a career (“I view my job primarily as a stepping-stone to other jobs”), or
a calling (“My work is one of the most important things in my life”).

"Death is not easily escaped, try it who will; but every living soul among the children of men dwelling upon the earth goeth of necessity unto his destined place, where the body, fast in its narrow bed, sleepeth after feast..."
Simply put, coalitions are friendships of necessity, and alliances are friendships of choice.

That was my choice. I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life without her, just looking at her from a distance. I needed and wanted to be right next to her, holding her hand, whispering how much I loved her into her skin until my love became a part of her, a necessity she couldn’t do without.
I wanted to be her air, her heart. I wanted everything I didn’t deserve to have.
But was that the best thing for her?
Was I the best thing?
Unfortunately, I knew I wasn’t, but that didn’t change the fact that I would try to be.

Scarcity Doctrine
The court has found that there is no limit, other than economic, on the number of newspapers, books, magazines, or pamphlets that can be printed and circulated. But there is a physical limit on the number of television or radio stations that can operate in a given portion of the broadcast spectrum. Accordingly, said the Court, broadcasting is a public resource, much like the national parks or navigable rivers; this gives the government the right not only to allocate frequencies but also to set standards to ensure that their use will promote “the public convenience, interest, or necessity.”
