What do we really need to live as human beings? It is one of the questions that has tormented man since the birth of his most thoughtful consciousness, seeing himself surrounded by matter extracted by himself to live better and realizing that when he dies he will only have his last breath left. The Cynic philosophers of ancient Greece devised methods to be well with oneself in the most natural way possible, demonstrating that nothing is totally necessary to live except for the most essential things that our body requires. It is true that needs can be prioritized, but everything falls apart when asking: What is necessary for a person's desires? The objective of this work is to express a doubt to the expectant and make him reflect on what is really necessary to die in peace.
