Hearing the song about the "bear" necessities in the Jungle book movie, it got me thinking about what everyone needs and if its what we actually need, not what we want.

Life necessities include the things that one person needs to live, and not always what the want to live with.

The basic needs of life are obviously food, water and shelter, and from my girl guide training, you can only live a certain amount of hours without each in extreme conditions.

What people need to live emotionally is love. Love from a person or thing. Its what keeps us sane in this world, knowing that if we died today, there would be someone who missed us.

Depending on the people, religion, race and age, there are different necessities that they need to live. But we are really all the same deep down and there are only a few things that we depend on to live.
