How does having no basic needs affect your life?

Answer 1

== == Your basic needs for shelter and food can be met if you find a nice cave with a lot of edible plants nearby. Once these basic needs have been satisfied, you begin to accumulate the things you want, i.e. dessert with your vegetables, a hut of leaves and branches instead of the cave, a Cadillac instead of a Chevy. Ultimately, when you have fulfilled all your needs and wants, you build a retirement account to ensure your standards of living can be maintained when you are no longer able to work (or no longer want to work) and leave a fortune to your descendents. Then your children will never have to worry about their basic needs and have everything they want so they will become politicians and tell the rest of us how to run our lives.

ANSWER

When I think of basic needs, I think of the kinds of things we actually need to exist and survive as human beings. These can fall into two categories,

Physiological needs, and Psychological needs. I believe all of us have these basic needs.

Basic physiological needs would include things like, food, water, sleep, cloths to protect ourselves from the elements, shelter to protect ourselves from the elements etc.

Then there are basic psychological needs. The need for safety and security, need or a sense of belonging and love, etc.

All the above affects our lives in one way or another, and how we exist ourselves affects others in one way or another. Whatever we do or don't do in this life affects others. It's like dropping a pebble into a pond. It creates a ripple, and that ripple fans out and affects the whole pond, even if ever so slightly. So, I do not believe you can have no basic needs. Now if you are referring to being content with what you have in life or have no need or desire to strive for more than what you have; then that's a different story.

== == if you have no basic needs then you do not have a life for it to affect so this is a trick question
