“Human beings have certain physiological needs that must be met in order for them to survive: for water, food, sleep, and so on. Beyond these, however, a sense of general safety and security is key to our emotional and psychological well-being – as are our bonds with family, friends and community. Interwoven with all of this, of course, is also the need to feel that our lives matter – that we have the opportunity to develop and express those gifts that are at the core of each of us.”
