What do you need to be a soulful human being?
What does it take to be a calm and centered human being?
Do you need a roof over your head? How fancy should it be?
Do you need a good job? What job makes you happy?
Do you need a car to get around? How fancy or fuel efficient should it be?
Do you need good meals? How good? What kind?
Do you need a good laptop and a phone to feel connected?
How many friends do you need?
What are the absolute necessities in your life?
Don’t you already have them?
Why have our lives so called “necessities” increased so much lately?
Are we proportionally happier, calmer or closer to each other?
Why are there so many more “necessities” these days?
Who creates them?
For what purpose?
Are we more or less human
than decades ago
as the result of our new necessities?
Are we slaves to our new “necessities”?
