Need of life

What exactly we need in life . The debate is ongoing and each one of us had different understanding and justification for the same .
But I believe that the most important need apart from food , shelter and clothing is “Mental peace “
It’s a state of mind which doesn’t need any comfort , money and lavish life style , instead it’s a inner clam which gets reflected in every day life .
I had more metal piece when my monitory situation was not so overwhelming , but I was with me whole family together .
Now , even though money is not an issue any more , things seems to be at its place , but some how , mental peace has gone . Earlier meditation used to be exciting , now even for a minute , my scattered mind goes in all the directions and its very difficult to keep my threads at one point .
Life has really changed and so the meaning of peace.
