Those items are a bit trickier for sure. There's a biological need for them and so they can be pressing. There's a certain bare minimum that yeah, you can't just not have. Anything past that, though, past the absolute critical for life level, is something you can learn to be content with, learn to not desire more than, and instead just be thankful for the excess above starvation that you enjoy in this moment.
