To fully understand the basis of all human needs you must first way the outcomes of asking the simple question to any human about the basic necessities versus the bourgeois way of life which so many of us,intellectuals, seemed to loathe because of its high-fashion, fast cars, cheap women, and fine wine. We never truly know what we need and why we choose what we want in a orderly fashion as if trying to find something that gives some sort of pleasure in which the only sensible option is to choose to want.

We must understand that the whole idea behind the materialism is merely an attraction between the use of our money and rewards that we feel is rightly ours. We want everything that we can't afford because it is a measure of our wealth as well as the simple reason that we come infatuated with a certain item and until we attain it we are satisfy, but not even that makes a human a peaceful person. No, we must keep persisting to find the best thing so that our fellow men can be jealous at our taste and lucrative money habits. All in all, we must come to the realization that you are not impressing anyone with your riches, but becoming poorer in dignity and in moral values by the purchase. But somehow we as consumers cannot comprehend this and still we batter ourselves with purchasing that which we cannot afford for the pleasure and idleness of our counterparts and undulated self-preservation. To this i call simplistic ideals because we fail to see the argument between want and need, which has become and age old question between the wise consumer and shoppers which are like a bird in the line of fire of a seasonal hunter. We no longer have control over purchasing habits therefore the companies have introduce all these new plans but forgot to tell the government that they do that they must also increase the wage and lower the cost of living so that the average consumer isn't being strangled and killed from the feet upwards.
Is it any wonder why countries hate us. We have such a high level of debt and we keep on wasting money like it somehow fell from the skies and we do it knowingly. When people sit there and stare aimlessly at their credit bills they don't look at with disdain and utter disgust but rather and early acceptance of a nearby death which unsubtly will lead to mankind's demise into self annihilation. If we are truly any smarter than common animal and if we have truly advanced in our way of thinking then why the reversal of our thought process is still noticeable as if it was being seen through a magnifying glass. we to need see our own arrogance?
Are we as humans so self- centered that we can not see pass our own greed and shameful attitude towards the our monetary capabilities. But then again if you really sit down and analyze this, you realize that financial institutions are really what keep America going. Long after were gone our checking accounts with still have the residue of our mistakes. We may as well give up and just settle for being the lab rats of the rich and wealthy foundations who sole purpose to find new ways to keep the average human choking on a salary that is minimal in life expectancy and maximum economical torture.
