Don't quote me Maslow - we all know that, ok.
I was thinking recently about what's really important in life.
Beyond your basic needs of course.
So let's rule out food, shelter and warmth, ok.
I was reading an interview with someone out of The Rolling Stones and he said after all the excesses he'd experienced he'd learned that the most important things in life were:
1. Health
2. Good friends and family
3. Peace of mind
Do you agree?
So what's important in your life??
The essentials for life???
Replies sorted oldest to newest
Now Baz - could you survive without them?
Are they essential??
Fair enough - interesting choice
Now . . . . sex 
Is it important? An essential to a fulfilled life??
We'll let the others ponder that one . . .
Moving on, aherm
Health!!! Health!!! Health!!!
IMO....if you ain't got that you ain't got nuffin 
I would agree with those three thingst..
my number one would be that everyone had basic needs and then I wouldn't get so worked up about, the homeless, the bedroom tax and the NHS 
I'm going to offer .....
To be liked - it would be a lonely life without that surely.

I still put health above that. You can fight anything if you have your health

Nope.
Inner peace trumps that.
Yep, I don't care whether peeps like me or not
That's their problem

Now look what you've done - it's broken

Just offering my thoughts 
A warm carefree childhood.....a rebellious youth......money becomes important...
Things, become important.....then, you see others missing the 'free' things in life, striving to earn enough to pay for the things seen as important to live a happy life.....
Then you start looking back...........
Looking back my 'happiest' times cost nothing (or very little) ......
We all need money, but only to enjoy, not to accumulate as a badge of honour or success in life.
If you were universally disliked - it would make for a miserable life, no?
So I think being liked is important, though few would admit they need to be liked

It really wouldn't bother me......I can deal with my own company quite nicely thanks In fact.....I could quite happily become a hermit
And........I don't feel I need to be liked at this point in time, I dunno....maybe others think differently of me but like I say...that's for them to deal with
Oh no - that's not for me Sprouty

That's not to say I don't want friends though. I'm just saying I could deal with being alone

I have ways of making you talk 
Nuff said!
velvet donkey posted:I would add to the opening list that 4: a sense of humour is handy.
Even if it's just with our own selves The ability to laugh at our own selves is unique
