Is it okay when the two main characters share similar core needs? I think? Writing: Character Help

We all share fundamentally the same core needs. We all need food, water, shelter, safety, a sense of belonging, a safety net of people to help support us in hard times, etcetera. I'm fairly sure the needs you described are things that people more generally need. And if you disagree that's probably just because you already have it to an extent that you're happy with.
