Bare Necessities

Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities. That’s what the cast of the Jungle Book sang. And all of us live by it, consciously and subconsciously. While looking for a house, while living life, we are always looking for the bare necessities to suffice us. We don’t look for something completely over the top. At the end of the day, we need the basic things in life first, before the other fancier things can come by. The simple things, which make life comfortable. A roof over our heads, a bed to sleep on, clothes to wear, food to eat and water to drink. What more can one really ask for? A lot, you might say. And to be honest, I might even agree. But it really is enough to just look for the bare necessities, because fringe benefits are elusive. They come around only when one is not actively seeking them.
