What appeals to me is how unpretentiously you wrote this text. Without great attitude and behaviour of heroism or sacrificial mentality. Sometimes you get the impression as an author that you can't win a flowerpot with this kind of thinking. Too few pain points are tickled and there is nothing to get upset about it. No controversy to attack and discuss. But nevertheless, I would say that it is an extremely valuable act to approach a subject so calmly and measuredly. Sometimes one gets the impression that the writing is not complete if the feedback is an uninterpretable emptiness.

The nature of the needs, yes, I see it that way, goes beyond the existential needs. People are cultural beings who, apart from food and shelter, want the fine arts or a spiritual exchange.

My parents, who were farmers and workers by their very nature and who were regarded by other intellectual people as simple minds, nevertheless had a desire for cultural edification, for music and song and beauty. My mother loved flowers and she could admire the beauty of a blossom like a Zen master and enjoy the shape, colour and smell.

It is a rather complex matter to move between need and law. Every current situation needs to be weighed up. We are dancing towards balance and it seems that we will never reach it in its entirety. It is always only temporary and situational. Which is basically the most important thing to know. There will never be a definitive solution for all eventualities for all times.
