Remember that whatever anyone does, it is an effort to meet a need.

What all the basic religions are saying is this: Don't do anything that isn't play.

While we may not consider the way we talk to be 'violent,' our words often lead to hurt and pain, whether for others or for ourselves.

Every message, regardless of form or content, is an expression of a need.

Not getting our needs fulfilled is painful - but it's a sweet pain, not suffering, which is what comes from life-alienated thinking and interpretation.

The more we talk about the past, the less we heal from it.

All human actions are an attempt to meet needs.
