Fire in me...cont.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper "A Theory of Human Motivation". Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity.
As the above diagram clearly depicts our behavioral priorities, our perceptions constantly change perhaps due to taste and fashion, but the principles of human psychology are as constant and as ageless as the sun.

There is no magic, its just a bunch of tricks, except we move into a more complicated realm, as we are undoubtedly humans, which of course have a price.
The moment we start to own up to our faults and tell ourselves the truth and embrace it, then we'll begin to see in a new light. Little wonder we constantly look up to the white folk as "Semi-gods" because they seem to be more realistic, well, perhaps not necessarily because they want to, but because they have to abide by the laws which govern the earth.
If we unconsciously follow their models in governing ourselves, then maybe we should go all the way, instead of constantly criticizing people that consistently upgrade themselves and letting our fears and insecurity turn us into an embodiment of stigmatization.

Back to our hierarchy of needs, the eco system has been grossly altered and the principles have been violated, meaning we have to pay the price, but we will continue to play the blame game unless we understand ourselves, forgive and allow the opportunity of the benefit of doubt.
When people we regard are given an opportunity to serve us and represent our interests forget who they are and become grossly insensitive, so much as to not only betray our trust, but also compromise their reverred positions and abuse office by misplacing priorities and siphoning funds at the expense of projects that can salvage human lives, then there is fire on the mountain. I've been to the mountain, thus i brought some of the fire with me.
