I'm in a small debate with someone about what are needs and what are wants and desires. So, my question is, besides food, clothing and shelter, air and water, what do YOU need to survive?

I don't need anything more than food, clothing, shelter, air and water to survive. But, that is surviving as opposed to enjoying. I don't need entertainment things but, it's nice to have and it makes existence nicer.

Maslow's hierarchy, right?
Are you just talking about survival, or are we talking about a fulfilled life?
What is the disagreement?
I think the hierarchy is:
1. Food, oxygen, & water
2. Clothing
3. Shelter
I can see an argument here for something on which to rest, given an ocean or riverine environment. But shelter might include that.
How about purpose? Don't we need a purpose? But then I think we're getting into more than just survival, now we're talking about a fulfilled life. Or civilization?

Emotional attachments are one of the foundations of human survival.

God. I need him to get me through all of the hard times. I need him to thank when I am going through good times.
