“Our Needs.”

“Human life is a constant struggle between material and spiritual impulses. However, these two kinds of impulses don't need to be at odds with each other. The problem is that mortals in this world have created a lot of false needs that distract them. The basic needs of the human being – without which a normal live could not be possible – can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
The problem is that many people in this world can't even satisfy their most basic needs. While a few have more than what they really need, hundreds die every day due to their inability to satisfy basic needs. Yet the real price of these unsatisfied needs is that so many people never even consider the spiritual side of life because the physical suffering caused by their unmet needs prevents them from thinking about anything else. How could a child think about spiritual progress when he or she is afraid for his or her life? How could a mother search for spiritual peace while watching her children die of hunger? It is like not really living.
Those who take more than what they need and use their resources to control others are creating a heavy load for themselves.

You might be one of the few fortunate ones that have more than what you need. Don't forget about your siblings who suffer. There is a lot you can do to improve the life of those around you, starting with finding within yourself desires to shine to others through you.
