I have observed that if you increase your needs, the new 'increased need state' becomes your new norm after a while. For example, if you didn't have car before but then you purchase it, use it regularly and then when you don't have it anymore — you'll miss your car, you'll feel like you can't live without it even though you managed to live without it before.
Do you agree with this observation? Would you agree that it's better to not increase your needs in first place?
I disagree with you standing on the ground that increasing your needs doesn't affect your normal daily life reason been that we are humans and as far as life is concerned we experience new things everyday and we get the urge to explore so the fact that you own something and when it's no longer there you miss it is not a good excuse to not explore on new things ,you missing that object or whatever is due to it's significance at the material time.
