Some socical scientists, e. g. Maslow, view man as a bundle of needs – needs for food, water, shelter, sex, etc. A bundle found in a world of scarcity, inviting the view of others as competitors so you’d better get yours while the getting is good.
Contrast that with: You are a son or daughter of god with a bundle of talents in a world full of needs; your goal is to discipline your own wants and apply your talents to bless others and lead them back to your Father. What a difference the view makes!
Fact is, the body requires constant nourishment, but so does the spirit. If only the worldly needs are listed or recognized, then the spirit perishes, and the spirit is nourished more by giving rather than by taking. "Man does not live by bread alone."
