Man’s true needs
By zevi770 · May 7, 2013
We need, similar to Maslows definition of needs, obviously the basics
We need food, we need clothing, we need shelter
But beyond our body, our mental health, is our true needs! These are things, generally we don’t associate, that animal’s need, but we DESPERATELY need it!
First and foremost, we are souls, we have a sense of right and wrong, unbeknown to us, there are many deep subconscious feelings that we feel every aimless, if we don’t fulfill it!
We need a spouse!
We need a friend of the same-sex!
We need security!
We need meaning!
Meaning is the one most people neglect, because as the Rebbe teaches, people are most often unaware of their need for it; but meaning, though it may be the last on the list, is actually of course what determines everything else! For, we can have the basics, have a spouse, have a good friend, have security, but if we lack meaning, it all seems, well, meaningless! but add meaning to the equation, suddenly, it’s all meaningful!!!
