In our sick society, it isn't easy to define a need. Obvious things come to mind, such as food, shelter, companionship, medicines, clean air and water, and sex. The Zen masters would say, "Chop wood, carry water," to indicate that needs should be simple. But there is a fundamental misunderstanding in the West of what life is.
