When you look for needs.

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

This is the twen­ty-fifth in a series of posts reflec­ting on our willin­gness to remem­ber and the qua­li­ty of that know­ledge. These posts should be read in order of publi­ca­tion. Star­ting with num­ber six, for example, would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

Which need should I take first? Basic needs of course, but I could start a lit­tle fur­ther than phy­sio­lo­gi­cal needs. What about safe­ty? No. In fact, the wisest thing would be to start at the source of eve­ry­thing. What we all have in com­mon is the need to exist phy­si­cal­ly. The need to be free from phy­si­cal pain and to have a func­tio­nal body. Heal­thy body, heal­thy mind, right? So I went there for the need to live.

Sim­ply living, not neces­sa­ri­ly living heal­thy. Let’s remem­ber that I was trying to focus on basic needs, real­ly basic needs.

So I crea­ted my first list of needs to explore.

• Basic needs
  • Being alive
  • Drin­king
  • Eating
  • Clo­thing
  • Hou­sing
  • Trans­port and travel
  • Safe­ty
  • Mem­ber­ship
  • Self-esteem
  • Self-rea­li­za­tion

So I star­ted out in a linear way, taking the approach I would take if I had to cross the ocean. In a straight line, fol­lo­wing each cre­vasse, without jum­ping over a par­ti­cu­lar sub­ject. After all, my inten­tion is conser­va­tion and sur­vi­val, so why lie to myself and put myself at risk. So I star­ted with the first topic, being alive. It ope­ned my mind to many ques­tions that I had never thought about before. Excellent!
