Thanks for sharing this story. I remember being in an argument on Steemit a month ago about Internet as a basic need. I was being called narrow minded because I said that we should first focus and clean water and food for all which are the real basic needs. Of course, the person I was arguing with lives in a country where free wifi is provided in public parks and I live in a country where we still shower with a bucket every time electricity falls out. And our country is actually considered to be one of the more developed ones of our region.

I think you're right. People who grow up with all the advantages don't recognise that there are placed in the world where 'rights' mean the right to life-sustaining resources/ fascilities, first, and anything beyond that is a luxury!
Exactly! The irony of it all, people are happy without must of the luxuries of the Western world. But hey, we live in a commercialized world. I myself get caught in the spectacle and buy things I don't really need thinking they are a necessity :).
I mean who doesn't though! I think humans are innately bad at recognising the difference between 'want' and 'need'!
True. Very true :)
