which other people are out doing, and which you don't really need, but which nevertheless don't prey on your mind. Golf, say. This implies that you think, intuitively, that love and sex are worthwhile. Incidentally a person doesn't really need to be alive; 'need' relates (in different contexts) to some kind of set of things that you just want, ultimately just because you're attracted to them.

The reason there are there will be primarily to do with the fact that I wanted them at some stage earlier in my life, and to take my new analytical lifestyle and regect the fact I want/wanted them would be a pretty shitty start to an analytical life. So I have to accept that I want them, but then constantly worry about the fact that I can't have them and if not having them at all is too brash a choice.
