Maslow's Hierarchy

Maslow surmised that we have a hierarchy of needs. Lower ones are physiological, topped by safety, social, esteem and finally at the tippity top, self actualization.

You can google his descriptions of each level. That isn't my point.

It's easy to look ahead, look around and reach out when we feel healthy and safe. Not so much when when every card is flipped over to expose a grinning, black hearted joker.

My hand shows four aces now. Admittedly, a little tattered, but aces.
