Why should we be humble? Why shouldn’t we love ourselves?
If I know my value; if I’m honest about my abilities; why would you say I should be modest about my worth. Why not just be truthful instead of humble?
Why can’t I love myself, which is just another way of expressing admiration and esteem—the highest degree of both. Love is not sex, but romantic love should be expressed and celebrated with sex.
Human beings need water, food, shelter, and companionship. This is not an exhaustive list of our needs, but just because these needs will maintain our survival, there’s no reason why we would view these needs as something we’re entitled to demand—that’s caused by altruism and bad philosophy.
I wonder how the maslow pyramid could be aligned with your idea about need/want.
Interesting thought. I should think about it. However, this need/want paradigm is not my own. I've picked this up in marketing. I just expand on it.
Less is more ...
Thanks for your precious insights !!!
Which unfortunately are not welcome in current consumerist-driven societies ...
Thanks. But that’s the thing: you can be consumerist all you want, as long as you ‘want’ instead of ‘need’ what you consume
I can summarize this: ZEN
