And we get what we deserve !! "desire and necessity."
Where what we want is what we need.
Where what we need is what we want.

İstediğimiz şey, ihtiyacımız olan şey.

Budur!
... for the strength of a man and the softness of a woman, the institution of the family,
and the differentiation of occupations are mere militant necessities of an age of
physical force. Where population is balanced and abundant, much childbearing becomes an evil rather than a blessing to the State; where violence comes but rarely and offspring are secure, there is less necessity—indeed there is no necessity for an efficient family, and the specialization of the sexes with reference to their children’s needs disappears.
"Erkeğin gücü ve kadının yumuşaklığı, aile kurumu ve mesleklerin ayrımı, fiziksel gücün önemli olduğu bir dönemin sadece savaşa dayalı gereklilikleridir. Nüfus dengeli ve bol olduğunda, çok fazla çocuk sahibi olmak devlete bir nimet değil, bir zarar haline gelir; şiddet nadiren ortaya çıktığında ve soy güvende olduğunda, etkili bir aileye ve cinsiyetlerin çocuklarına yönelik uzmanlaşmasına gerek yoktur.
Strategy and strategic thinking
The phrase ‘to support foreign policy’ makes the point that strategy, war and conflict should be designed to accomplish a political objective. This is what justifies strategic action and, as Clausewitz remarked, this is what determines a consequent
conflict’s form and character: War is nothing but a continuation of political endeavour with altered means. I base the whole of strategy on this tenet, and believe that he who refuses to
recognise this necessity does not fully understand what matters. The principle explains the whole history of war, and without it, everything would appear quite absurd.

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.

Individuals are characterized by different degrees of propensity to socialize. There are individuals for whom any contact with other individuals is a painful necessity. They literally have to put up with people, and people have to put up with them. At the other extreme of the spectrum there are individuals who absolutely cannot live by themselves and are even ready to spend time in the company of people whom they do not really like rather than be alone. Between these two extremes, there is an extreme variety of conditions, although by far the greatest majority of people are closer to the type who cannot face loneliness than to the type who has no taste for human intercourse. Aristotle recognized this fact when he wrote that “Man is a social animal” and the validity of his statement is demonstrated by the fact that we move in social groups, that there are more married people than bachelors and spinsters, that so much wealth and time are wasted in fatiguing and boring cocktail parties, and that the word loneliness normally carries a negative connotation.
There are no spirit-women in the trees, there are no gods below the dirt, else that they be as daft as Hurna. People all are born with no more why to it than some poor sagging fieldgirl shows her arse off in the high weeds, and there’s scarcely better reason in the dying of us neither. Where is there a god that strikes us down with venom from a trampled bee? Who puts us in this place then floods the crop that there is not enough to feed us with; drops ashes from the sky and strikes our cattle blind? If it be gods, they have queer sport.
And yet in every willage there are fat-faced little men and sickly girls who scourge themselves and fast to please some spirit-bear, or else a tree they fancy speaks with them. How can the gods demand starved ribs and lash-striped backs above the sufferings that they already fashion for us? If we in this world are cruel by harsh necessity, how much more wicked are the gods who want for nothing yet torment us to the death? Such things there may not be.
It is not gods that welcome us beyond the grave, but only worms.

Mrs Linde: I have learned to act prudently. Life, and hard, bitter necessity have taught me that.
Krogstad: And life has taught me not to believe in fine speeches.
Sceptics and Ordinary Life
In their ordinary lives sceptics find themselves under the humiliating necessity of imitating the behaviour of the same simple dogmatists to whom they feel theoretically superior. Sceptics may be giants in argument, but ordinary life cuts them down to size.
