Our needs aren't as complex as we make them out to be. Sustenance and maybe some kind of community. With education and money we're talking about wants turned into needs.To satiate our needs- from the basic to the higher.
Hmmm. Maslow. I suppose we all have different interpretations of belongingness and esteem.To satiate our needs- from the basic to the higher.
Yes. Do we really need it? I think humanity has a tendency to oversimplify to the point of over complication Everything seems to end in dystopia.wants turned into needs.
Love is a skill.Hmmm. Maslow. I suppose we all have different interpretations of belongingness and esteem.
That's the bedroom kind of looooovvveeee.Love is a skill.
It's also possible to try to turn needs into wants. I do think there's a need for companionship, and even if I try to convince myself it's just a want, that it can be discarded, I haven't been very successful. Yet it's not uncommon to bump into people who claim they've succeeded, that they're completely happy alone. Ah, but maybe it's because I've experienced such happiness in a relationship that no matter how happy I am on my own, I'm still aware that the potential for happiness (and for misery) is still greater when you can share your life with someone.Yes.

Well, the saying applies there too but I was talking about maintaining a relationship. It's easy to get bored of someone and then blow your retirement fund on a fast car, suits, and penthouse suite to impress nightclub air-heads.That's the bedroom kind of looooovvveeee.
And that's fulfilling? I thought feeding hungry kids was fulfilling.It's easy to get bored of someone and then blow your retirement fund on a fast car, suits, and penthouse suite to impress nightclub air-heads.
I think the need for companionship is nothing but temporary. When we consistently view ourselves as a constant part of a bigger whole, I doubt there's need for companionship. There's probably too much of it where necessarry. I'm personally more afraid of the damage that my existence will have to be accountable to but I guess we are all inevitable that way.It's also possible to try to turn needs into wants.

Love is the skill of accepting another in a positive way, with zero resentment even when we want to be off with their heads.Love is a skill of seeing the world, and your partner, in a positive way. Even when things get bad. Or especially then.
Not unless there's a Rolex on your wrist.And that's fulfilling? I thought feeding hungry kids was fulfilling.
Yes. I personally find it more fulfilling to chop that wrist off to free the rolex. All the labor that went into one damn wrist. Inequality.Not unless there's a Rolex on your wrist.
Macabre?
Okay, let me rephrase my point: there's a need for human connection, and in a world where people are focused on their immediate families, it's difficult to find the kind of connection that satisfies the need except by companionship. That is, we may all be constant parts of a bigger whole, but it's difficult to feel it if all your connections are shallow. Hence the need for connection leads into needing companionship. Perhaps it's not inevitable that the world should be this way.I think the need for companionship is nothing but temporary.

It's a beautiful thing if you're at the top of the heap though.Yes. I personally find it more fulfilling to chop that wrist off to free the rolex. All the labor that went into one damn wrist. Inequality.

No guilt? I've always thought successful people were more prone to sleepless nights not because they have a lot to do but because they know what they've done so far. I guess I believe too much in good conscience.It's a beautiful thing if you're at the top of the heap though.
Everything you want.
Some people only want more. It gets gross past a certain point.No guilt? I've always thought successful people were more prone to sleepless nights not because they have a lot to do but because they know what they've done so far. I guess I believe too much in good conscience.
