I think we must admit now that survival will not satisfy us, how much efficient it may become but it will never be enough.
In your own life you may have seen that, your one desire is followed by other and another and another, there is no end to it, and essentially our desire are still in their infancy because society is geared in such a way that usually we don't desire other than the convenience. All our wants are focused on better means of survival, which is the cave man attitude, a bit sophisticated but still the same.
The society has been brought up by such ideals where material well being and money is the most valuable thing. Even in the developed societies they are still furthering their comfort and convenience to the point of ridiculousness. It does not need much sense to realise that the direction where we are heading is not the right one, because if it would have been than the man would have been settled by the material well being.
What does a man need? We as a society must ponder over this question first and than decide the direction otherwise we will just waste our energies in the futility of our efforts.
Namaskar.
