you aim for food security & safety

until you achieve it

and then it becomes a baseline

then you aim for financial stability

that enables richer experiences of the world

until you achieve it

and then these become taken for granted

then you aim for mastery of a skill

and why you want the things you want

which points you to the nature of the world

and your place in it
