What signals do you look for? Do you decide based on reason or instinct?

Needs are always based on objectives. Need to stay alive? Food, shelter, basic hygiene. Need to stay sane? Stimulation, interaction, meaning. Need to be happy? Free time, achievement.

The important thing is they are always conditional. You don't even need to stay alive, unless you have an objective that requires it. You don't need to go to the movies, unless your objective is to unwind. And so on.

Most often our wants and desires are what creates need as a requirement to achieve them.
