Daily Question, April 23

In your opinion what is truly essential?

  • Sean

    Connection. Feeling of belonging.

  • Nina

    Faith, Hope, Love and sustenance and covering.

  • Kayla

    Reflecting on the hierarchy of human needs my truly essential needs are first air to breathe and water to drink. Without either I will quickly cease to exist. Clean air and water nourish my very existence.

  • Aspirit

    It is essential to persist in desiring to unfold a path to the openness of your own Heart.

    • reality

      Ah, yes, inhaling to aspire, exhaling to inspire, in the art of being human, life; brava- thanx 🙂 reality

  • reality

    Truth and the telling of it 🙂 reality

    Spiritual existence meets its own needs. Nothing more is truly essential.

  • Jennifer L. Wyatt

    Food, water, shelter. Shelter in my mind is called home. Nature and all of its beauty, family, friends, and a higher power who loves us all. Books, art, and music. and the lovely sounds of silence.

  • CATHOLIC DEE

    God is truly essential as HE is your creator and nothing can or does truly matters unless GOD is first there is no second etc. What is happening now is what we were told to do “go to your room and stay until I am finish this is Isaiah !! Since this Virus I have been reading my Bible more and have really understood more God is our creator and is in charge and we must obey1!!! much love Dee

    self-love

  • Pollyanna Gladwell

    This morning I wrote “Love, forgiveness and gratefulness.” I stand by that, but a little while later I realised that I had missed something – a toothbrush!

  • Mark Piper

    Opinions are important, as I think they can point out our thinking (it’s illumination and its unlit spaces). But feelings and ideas are more important than opinions and I do not think opinions are essential but they sure seem natural.

  • Hot Sauce

    Enough food and drink, adequate shelter, friends, a sense of being good enough, and a connection to something greater than oneself is all that is essential for a happy life.

  • Linda

    Water, food, something to look forward to, and a loving family and friends.

  • Ed Schulte

    Knowing that all opinion is Vanity

    ( and I thank Dr D. R. Hawkins for that bit of wisdom )

  • Mica

    I’m with Hunter on ‘kindness’ – Thank you, Hunter – pasting the link into my doc of inspiring quotes, I found this one below it! –

    Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not.
    SAMUEL JOHNSON

    After all, it is Not truly essential that I Live

  • Katrina

    Water, sunlight, oxygen (clean air), food, shelter is essential for physical life; love, service to others, and gratitude are essential for spiritual, emotional and mental health.
