LOVE ~ a Need or a Want?

LOVE ~ a Need or a Want?

I have a surprise for you:

Oxygen is a NEED but love is a WANT.

LOVE IS NOT AN ADULT HUMAN NEED!

It's okay to to want a loving relationship with another human being. Nothing wrong with that. It's a delicious pleasure to be involved in a good relationship with someone you love.

But adults do not NEED that external approval, love, or attention in order to survive or to experience happiness. Only children do.

This finding is contrary to Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs, which should really be re-named Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs and Wants. Or, maybe Higher Needs should be thought of in terms of Wants.

Food for thought for the weekend...
