Explaining the basic needs of the human being is extremely simple… is it?
Well, let's star with the most basic… the human need to sleep and eat. Now let's start complicating it a little bit more, we need to get a bath every once in a while… we need a house to live, we need cloths to wear. Seams easy so far but let's take it up a notch.
People need to interact, need to belong to a social being so they feel completed (well it seams it's starting to complicate…doesn't it?), they need to be part of a family and to make a family… we're entering the needs… the “not physiologic” needs… we need to love, to be loved, we need to smile, to cry, to laugh… basic feelings... let's complicate it... we need to feel frustrated, we crave success, we envy, we desire…
And now… the worst part… we can find people that are the exception… and still feel good with them. There're people that don't want to succeed but are still happy, there're the ones that don't envy, the ones that don't desire, etc…
You could say… they say they don't… but in fact… they do… Well... I believe that there are a few that do not pretend… the human need… that extremely simple thing turned out to be one of the most complex things in the world… unless… unless we don't try to explain it… because if we don't make any effort to explain those needs, if each and every one of us just follow our needs… well they turnout to be again one of the most simple things in the world… and with that in mind, I need to read, today, and again The Little Prince… and that I shall do, without trying to explain why
