5 things you can't live without

[digital angel]

What are 5 things you can't live without?

In random order, mine are:

1) Books;

2) Career:

3) Coffee;

4) good friends; and

5) a place to live.

 

[Chimera]

1: Boring obligatory physical necessities (water, food, shelter, security)
2: Access to all 5 senses (yes, I'm aware blind and deaf people live, thank you.)
3: Companionship (anything from animals to a significant other.)
4: Access to knowledge/discovery (intarwebsorz.)
5: Percieved freedom.​

 

[Don't mind me]

Spoiler

If you wish to heed my name, go ahead, because this post is just annoying bs more or less.

This question bugs me. "What are five movies you can't live without?" No problem. "Five chemical compounds?" Don't see why not. But... "five things?" "Things" is way too non-specific! I mean, one thing can be an indivisible element, the set this element is contained in, the set one further step up etc.

eg
1. Every thing I'm unable to live without
2. Ehm...

And why would Chimera's #1 not be four separate categories?

The width of the categories is completely arbitrary...
Hmm... I actually think amma write a real answer, though, just to not be a complete douche.
Meet me below the spoiler

1. Echoing Chimera
2. Accessible seclusion
3. Accessible social interaction
4. Music
5. A safe outlet

I am guessing Digital Angel is referring to not necessarily the absolute necessities for survival....so excluding those, my list would be something like ("spiritual nourishment"):

Music

Books

Friends

Nature

Continuous intake of information (preferences towards the natural sciences and philosophy).

 

[Puffy]

^ Likewise, I'm going to assume absolute necessities:


Pepsi - lots and lots of Pepsi... And energy drinks, I'm not a morning person + don't like hot drinks...

Art - Films, Comics, Music

Walking - in the sense of exploring/ day-dreaming, not just getting from place to place :P

Pepsi - lots and lots of Pepsi... And energy drinks, I'm not a morning person and don't like hot drinks...

Friends

Internet

 

[Puffy]

^ Woops, obviously Pepsi is so important I had to defy the list and have it twice.

 

[digital angel]

^Your assumption is correct.

 

[Cavallier]

1. Comforting things such as warm hooded sweatshirts, hot tea, and good boots. Without these things I may have committed murder/suicide long long ago.

2. Books/Access to information/Internet

3. Companionable creature I can alternately snuggle with, perform experiments on, and talk to. (Does not necessarily have to be human)

4. Things to solve. Otherwise I get listless and depressed.

5. Towel. You may scoff but I'd like to see you survive for very long without your towel.

Ha! I wear full leathers when I ride, but it isn't a Harley, they're too slow and expensive

Who says Alpha Male status and INTP personality type are mutually exclusive?
Also, I can live without weights, it's easy to find heavy things to lift.
