Every moment each human being is doing the best we know at that moment to meet our needs. We never do anything that is not in the service of a need, there is no conflict on our planet at the level of needs. We all have the same needs. The problem is in strategies for meeting the needs.

Also, think about your intentionality - are you getting lost in the method? or coming from the intentionality, the purpose? You don't want to do the mechanics without the consciousness.

Our survival as a species depends on our ability to recognize that our well-being and the well-being of others are in fact one and the same.

You're going to lose it when you follow the world "feel" with the words "because I think". Any time you are thinking, your chance of getting what you need is greatly decreased, especially when you follow the word "think" with the word "you". I predict you won't only not get heard, but I predict a defensive aggressive reaction.

When we understand the needs that motivate our own and others behavior, we have no enemies.

With every choice you make, be conscious of what need it serves.

In our culture, most of us have been trained to ignore our own wants and to discount our needs.
