Abraham Maslow, and his Hierarchy of Needs
I'm learnin' this week about Maslow's hierarchy o' needs. It's really commonsense stuff, but if you live it in some aspect, it really rings true, man. Maslow said you cain't think about intellectual or spiritual stuff, when your basic needs aren't bein' met. That's really simplified. And I know I'm bein' overly dramatic here, and this probly won't happen, but bein' faced with the possible prospect of bein' homeless in the fall scares the poop outta me, and all my spiritual stuff flew out the window. Every other 'partment I found was a piece of cake (show up, say "I'll take it," and sign a lease). Not happening this week, nosiree, much harder this time around, yesiree. I really don't wanna move, I really don't. I feel a little bit like I set down roots where I'm living now, and now I have to completely uproot myself, and I feel like there ain't no ground underneath my feet. It's hard 2 believe that all the little things I took 4 granted, livin' where I'm livin' now, will be gone 4ever. The buddhists say change is inevitable, but I don't like it. I don't like it.
