They say that needs are necessities

Things you can not live without, essentially

But to answer this would be to ask yourself-

What makes you come alive?

 

For me, all I need is curiosity.

Without it I'm just a lifeless, zombie version of me. 

It's what keeps me alive; it's generosity

for it tirelessly,

asks questions.

and persistently,

demands answers.

 

disguising itself as a thirst that can only be quenched by knowledge

for knowledge is highly nutritious, bursting with compassion and growth-

it is curiosity that drives 

our humankind to thrive.

 

And it's this asking of why

that keeps us all alive

because lets face it-

 

If I was to be stuck on an island,

the one thing I'd need to survive on it,

is the curiosity to figure out how.
