Maslow's hierarchy of needs:- (The shortened version).............
He used the terms "physiological", "safety", "belongingness" and "love", "esteem", "self-actualization", and "self-transcendence" to describe the pattern that human motivations generally move through.
Physiological needs:-
Air, water, food, clothing and shelter. While maintaining an adequate birth rate shapes the intensity of the human s*xual instinct.
Safety needs:-
With their physical needs relatively satisfied, the individual's safety needs take precedence and dominate behavior. In the absence of physical safety – due to war, natural disaster, family violence, childhood abuse, etc. – people may (re-)experience post-traumatic stress disorder or transgenerational trauma. job security is required.
Love and belonging:-
After physiological and safety needs are fulfilled, the third level of human needs is interpersonal and involves feelings of belongingness. Friendship, Intimacy, Family
Esteem:-
All humans have a need to feel respected; this includes the need to have self-esteem and self-respect. Esteem presents the typical human desire to be accepted and valued by others. People often engage in a profession or hobby to gain recognition. These activities give the person a sense of contribution or value. Low self-esteem or an inferiority complex may result from imbalances during this level in the hierarchy. People with low self-esteem often need respect from others; they may feel the need to seek fame or glory. However, fame or glory will not help the person to build their self-esteem until they accept who they are internally. Psychological imbalances such as depression can hinder the person from obtaining a higher level of self-esteem or self-respect.
Self-actualization:-
"What a man can be, he must be." This quotation forms the basis of the perceived need for self-actualization. This level of need refers to what a person's full potential is and the realization of that potential. Maslow describes this level as the desire to accomplish everything that one can, to become the most that one can be. Maslow believed that to understand this level of need, the person must not only achieve the previous needs, but master them.
Self-transcendence:-
In his later years, Maslow explored a further dimension of needs, while criticizing his own vision on self-actualization. The self only finds its actualization in giving itself to some higher goal outside oneself, in altruism and spirituality.
--> Now take each separate point into account, and produce Pro’s and Con’s for Maslow Hierarchy of needs.
--> Always ask why, never mind who or what it is. Don’t take anything at face value, get proof first.

How I was raised,discipline,love,punishment,education,privilege or lack of of it.
My choices,friends I chose and still choose,probably my interests,experiences I've had throughout my life,relationships.
I suppose also I played the hand I was dealt in life.
Good genes, Well brought up, Good values, Decent, etc....
What you are is not who you are ...
people spend much of their life time being whatever to who ever whilst forgetting about WHO they are instead.
The Who must be there first before the What can be established, and yes the What can change per requirement, but the Who stays the who, except during severe emotional/mental/physical trauma.
But my inner core took over, evaluated all info and then I decided who I was am.
I do this every few months snook take a look at myself and see if I have devloped bad habits etc. Then all new info entering my life needs evaluating again so I change not the fundamental things like stealing, killing being horrible etc snook just sometimes with new info I change my opinions
it wasn't YOU that should of been in there in the first place,
but you're out now and thats all that matters
Good reply,interesting points ...that i shall go think about now whilst i go cook dinner.
It appears that there r still people that can be trusted in this world. Thanx a lot to the 3 of u. It was a dark time for me, as I hardly ever find myself doing something realy wrong, so it's a first for me, but we learn and grow.
How about:-
Ditto !!!
I thought at first that maybe you were just taking a break from the site for awhile.WE were still friends and obviously your profile was still up.I really should have asked you as to why you weren't posting anymore blog topics.
I'm glad you are back.
I got a lot done in and around the house, and did some free spirited shopping.
I just couldn't understand the whole process, and still can't.
I would like to know what I did wrong, as the last blog was mudd slinging against me all the way.
Oh well, being wrongly accused is a first, as people generally know that I try not to make mistakes, but cannot dictate others actions.
That's life, I guess (for other people) ?
U r u !!!
