The aims of people.

Once, Buddha told brahmin Janussoni that a householder's aim is wealth, his quest is for knowledge, his mainstay is his craft, his desire is for work and his ideal is to bring his work to an end, and a woman's aim is a man, her quest is for adornments, her mainstay is sons, her desiere is to be without a co-wife and her ideal is domination.

There are different levels of "need satisfaction".

Abraham Maslow classified needs at 5 hierarchical levels:

The lowest needs are biological, next are the safety needs of security, stability and order. Then come belongingness such as affiliation, affection, and identification. Follow self-esteem needs including prestige, success, and self respect. Finally at the top comes the need for self-actualization to develop one's full potential in whatever field one works in.

Art making is at which level?

Walking meditation

Each step is a new step.
Be aware of every moment of each step.
Arising, moving, dropping, touching, pressing and balancing.
Let awareness follows each moment.
Know it and be with it.

Sometime thoughts come and go in between a moment.
That appears and disappears so fast.
Be aware and be happy.
Be present.

Disappear

All that you have thought of or felt of, all that have disappeared. All that come to your mind again will also disappear again.

Mindfulness

Sati or mindfulness is a state of being that one is aware of one's bodily action and mind or bodily and mental phenomenon that is happening at the present moment within oneself and one does not react to it but one clearly knows it and explores it with clear attention. There are some wholesome mental factors that accompanies right mindfulness, factors like faith, self-respect, conscience, non-attachment, good will, balance, tranquility of body and mind, lightness, softness, readiness, adaptability and straightness of body and mind. One can learn how to apply mindfulness to daily activities by learning and practising mindfulness meditation.

Agreeable

In Matugamasamyutta, Buddha told the Bhikkhus that if a woman (a man), who is beautiful (handsome, for man), wealthy, and virtuous; she is clever and industrious; and she begets children, she (he) is extremely agreeable to a man (a woman).
