When I studied Maslows Hierachy Needs, it was a course., a subject. The importance was only from examination point of view. With every day passing from there, and now after more than one and a half decade, it is looking more relevant to me.
In India, a land of love and emotions, in so called undeveloped India, the beginning of primary need or the needs for which people were living was from middle to top on that graph.Nobody was beginning from the bottom one.
People were living more for family, friendship, respect for others and self. The social development was in such a wonderful way that everything was having a particular time and every achievement was a celebration. The morality was guaranteed. The top of the need.
Now today, when we felt developed, everybody is working on the basic two needs. They are so occupied in those two needs that feeling of top three is looking vanished from their lives People are working for security, for basic needs i.e food, shelter, clothing etc. etc... No time to think or feel that we have stepped down on that hierarchy needs which starts from physiological to self actualisation.
The mythology and the preaching of the elders in the family was the foundation of that society. People were living there, for relations, morality, family and society. Today we are leaving all. Life is a vicious circle. We have followed the so called developed nations and stepped down to bottom line. And there after getting all in the physiological needs and safety, they moved to upper levels. More we are focused on bottom lines higher we develop insecure.
The people, who work for distinctions or full marks, do never feel insecurity to qualify. The base of every human society is relation, family, morality and self actualization. Is it the right time to stop and think, when would you start your journey to the top needs ?
The day you begin , the satisfaction of your lower ones is an auto process.
It would be living every day winning inside out. Winning together.
