I would rather help those who want than those who need. Those who need
but do not want do not have the will to change. Those who want but do
not need once did need, but through their own will came to a place
where need haunted them no more. To continue to want at that point is
not selfish; it is merely what comes naturally to those who spend
their lives looking for joy and peace and understanding. A true need
has nothing to do with your will, it is only conceded with your means
and your circumstances. Therefore a true want is not a selfish thing,
in fact to want in this sense is to desire life- to do what you can to
acheive what brings you joy and pease and love and understanding

Absolutely true - but where do you draw the line? Is someone entitled to want all they have the ability to attain? That doesn't push community or socialism in a good direction ... but then again, who wants those things now adays anyway?
It's also interesting to think, in this context, that the wants of some people are to help others - not out of a sense of necessity, but genuine compassion.
