What do you need?

Question

Personally, I need:

a) Oxygen
b) Food (vegetables, cheese, potatoes etc.)
c) Water
d) Moments of solitude
e) My wife

Everything else is either a pleasure or a means to get a-e.

It just bugs me when people say "I need to travel" or "I need cigarettes", "I need to see this movie" etc.

You don't need any of those things, those are wants.

What do you honestly need?

Answer 1

I need A-D but not your wife.

Answer 2

I need air, family, food, love and a costume idea for the Ladies Curling Bonspiel coming up at the end of the month, the theme for this years event is "Go For The Gold...Las Vegas Style" any suggestions?

Answer 3

My needs:
1 - breathing, eating, drinking (otherwise I would just die of suffocation, hunger or thirst)

2 - love and pleasure (otherwise my life will be empty and meaningles and I might just have to kill myself)

3 - children. You have to procreate to become immortal, because, what would be the point of all that living and love if it just stops... (if you cannot procreate, you better write a good novel or make a good discovery that will benefit mankind)

Answer 4

I need family, friends, and good fellowship. I need a higher power in my life to help guide my actions and my thoughts and to point out when I am wrong and when I am right. I need to make sure I am not suffering from HALT. Hungry, Angry, Lonely , Tired. If any of those are broken I can not truly be happy.

Answer 5

I think you covered all the basics except maybe a means of self expression like a form of art. Great question...by the way.

Answer 6

I need an infant car seat and bassinet for my son due to be here next month. I gave all my baby stuff away so I had to start over.

Answer 7

you are correct with your statment of what someone needs and really really wants!
and when you look at it that way

But it depends you may need to finish that question for others to give you there needs in a role they play in there life!

the need to survive:
water food air shelter..

What about the need to be happy?
maybe one would need to travel or one would need a cigarette..

so when you say what you need? what do i need in what part of my life?

maybe you should of stated what do you need to stay content with life..
what do you Need for relaxation!
What do you want to do for fun
What do you want to make you happy!

I do see where your coming from and i hope you see how broad and open ended your question is you are only asking for one to say
i need to smoke... the need for something needs to be noted
gosh i hope that makes sence!
but i do concur i hate it when people say i need "insert material thing"
when others are having a hard time surviving! but if me and blow joe are just shooting the breeze it's a short cut with our wording!
Words are tricky.
