Hunger and thirst are perennial needs of humans.
They constitute the all encompassing need that should and must be satisfied by any means. Righteousness, morals, conscience does not come in picture for the ones struggling with this need. Also these are primal needs, they are all-consuming and domineering, they cannot be stashed, toned-down and ignored.
These desires evolve based on the physical and emotional needs. The hunger for food and water though most common, is menial and unexceptional. Its the striving for enlightenment, money, power, fame, authority, respect, love, greatness, peace, understanding, expression or 'Others' that take more intention and action to quench.
There is no categorization to these quests, the hunger for inner peace is no better then the quest for power. Each quest is different and as potent as the person seeking it.
Also I am not sure if these are the needs or actually nature of humans. We move from one need to another. Its not controllable or there to accessorize our life. It becomes the focus of our existence.
Some may profess that this quest is the difference between the living and dead. But this may also be the become the burning desire that takes us from living itself.
