I hope so, finally. Yeah, you continue to (talk around and) equate basic human desire (and the fulfillment of such) to homeostatic needs or imbalance. To the contrary, it is those who misinterpret desire or craving as a need (or feel compelled to action, no matter the cost) who exhibit signs of impulsivity, addiction or other mental/emotional imbalances.
