Late night thoughts from New York

What is my life all about? When clear about this topic I have no reason to sway from the answer. My purpose is two fold. To be the best me I can be i.e. Love myself and the second  which is to give to others.
All of life can be broken down into simplified ways of living which breathe life into man.
Principly man lives first and foremost to survive. The basic elements that involve living are water, food and community. Without these basic necessities man is left empty and devoid of life. Of course that which precedes even these most basic needs is air to breathe and light to see.
These are thankfully two necessities which beget all other forms of needs and which are provided by nature itself. 
The others are not as easy to come by and must therefore be sought after or provided for. 
Once water, food and community are provided for man he is essentially retired from life. He is no longer required to search for a deeper purpose or meaning he simply needs to go on living in a way that supports his most basic needs. 
Above and beyond this man begins to become slightly unhappy by his circumstances. So he begins to cling to and attach himself to results and outcomes of life. But before this he looks for pleasure. That which will make him feel good. That which will satisfy the cravings of his body and help him along in his life. 
So man begins to gravitate towards that which brings him pleasure. Of course those things which are closest to the needs of man that make him feel good are eating food and sexual pleasure, peace of mind and feeling a sense of physical strength and energy. 
So man begins to look for ways to satisfy these created needs.
Each of these areas of life then get categorized and prioritized based on the need of the individual.
But the combination is the key differentiator for each individual and of course we cannot forget about mans desire to create, accomplish and be recognized for his accomplishments.
So we can say that man is on a constant quest for self. For some it is to gratify and satisfy the bodily pleasures. For others it is the need to be creative. Yet for others it is a need to accomplish and even others it is a need to be recognized for his creation and or his accomplishments.
Some men are called to maintain their state and not to seek much outside of the boundaries of himself whilst others are called to go beyond and stretch the limitations of himself.
