Very well stated.  Need and deire; necessities and wants, they all drive 
perceptions and values.  And as the perceptions change, so do the values.

People who strongly believe , one way or the other, always make a good 
argument for their way.  May way is only to adapt, survive, and grow 
stronger; all to the best of my ability within my known limitations.  And, I 
intend to continue having some d*mn fun along the way..........
