Today, I intend to dedicate my time understanding myself. No one can help me but myself. To some extent, I accuse myself of being ungrateful of all my blessings in life and it makes me feel terrible. Am I awfully ingrate? I should remember how hard life it is for others who are struggling to survive because they can’t even meet their basic needs like food, shelter, etc.
However, speaking of needs, I remember A. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Referring to it, perhaps I shouldn’t be guilty for feeling like this. I concur that we just don’t stop “needing” – if we have food in our table (meeting our physiological need), we seek for security e.g., that we can always have food to eat, etc. and then if we feel secured, we seek to be loved and belong…so on and so forth until we self-actualize.
I might be in the state of wanting to fulfill my “esteem” need now. Yes, I don’t think that I feel fulfilled because I am not achieving something. I am just working for a living. That’s why I want to know what I want and where I am so that I would know where I am going. Maybe I am in the right track after all. However, finding my way through is extremely bewildering.
