Needs



The source of power is need.

The requirements, desires and attachments we all feel everyday.

The number of needs we have as people livivng in this physical world is enormous.

The limitless ways these needs get expressed and satisfied makes almost anything a potential mechanism of power.

I think belonging and self esteem needs are some of the most confusing and effective needs to create influence and control. The opportunity to fit in can be very seductive.

We defend ourselves to gain approval and acceptance. We fight and resist each other to be allowed to be "ourself" - whatever that means...

But our need to fit in is an easy target for those who would have power.

Can it be overcome?

Check out this article...

Let me know what you think.
