Basic Human Needs

Nothing psychological or scientific; no Freud, Jung or Maslow; just a few basic, fundamental needs: air, water, fire, sleep, food, shelter, privacy, etc. There's one that's seldom if ever listed. Care to guess? And no, it's not a game.

... "attention" (JS357); "Alcohol, chocolate and sex." (Johnny); "a pillow" (Hand of Hecate); "love" (empovsun);
"To be needed" (Andy);

... attention, love and to be needed come the closest. It's a basic daily need we seldom realize we're having....

God can fill that need. My guess is "companionship".

True, it's a basic need; think of one that's more nuanced and specific.

Also, a real need... but 'hope' for what?
