Human Needs

PAGE IN PROGRESS
What you see here is a page of my hypertext book Me, Looking for Meaning. Initially empty, it will slowly be filled with thoughts, notes, and quotes. One day, I will use them to write a coherent entry, similar to these completed pages. See this post to better understand my creative process. Thank you for your interest and patience! :)

Do all people have the same needs? They probably do, although for different people different needs may take priority.

It's not uncommon to ignore our own needs and even more so to ignore needs of others.
