Needs - we all have them. If we dont value our needs, how can we effectively champion them? If we dont value our needs, another persons needs, then were in conflict. I might want a kayak but I dont need one (you might want to buy a kayak and your partner wants to be able to pay the mortgage - a want and a need in conflict); I might want cable TV but dont need it; I need a roof over my head, but not a 2,000 sq. ft. one; I need transportation to work, but not in a Mercedes. Calm comes when our basic needs are met. If we take care of Wants before Needs, we might experience a feeling of chaos (paying for an expensive meal with a credit card but not paying the PG&E bill). Ive actually argued over biological needs in the past - Ive actually apologized for my most basic, fundamental, biological needs (Im sorry I have to go to the bathroom) and because I, myself, didnt value my need, it didnt take much to be convinced that my need was an inconvenient irritation to others. Whoa.
