Barest necessity

Many people say that they can not survive without their electronics, possessions, or pets.

However, all of these things are materialistic and play no role in the sanity or survival of a human.

In reality the only thing that I, nor anybody else, can live without is our sanity. 

If we were to to abandoned without anything all we would need to keep is our sanity.

With our sanity we could gather our senses and begin to meet our own bare neccessities such as food and water.

However without it we would begin a decent into madness that would border on animalistic.

We would degenerate into something that by definition would no longer be human.

We would become something of anybody's nightmares that manifests the hopelessness and primal instinct of savagery.
