Man Is A Perpetually Wanting Animal.

The Peaker Learns Surely And Certainly That Life Can Be Worthwhile, That It Can Be Beautiful And Valuable. There Are Ends In Life, I.e., Experiences Which Are So Precious In Themselves As To Prove That Not Everything Is A Means To Some End Other Than Itself.

It Looks As If There Were A Single Ultimate Goal For Mankind, A Far Goal Toward Which All Persons Strive. This Is Called Variously By Different Authors Self-actualization, Self-realization, Integration, Psychological Health, Individuation, Autonomy, Creativity, Productivity, But They All Agree That This Amounts To Realizing The Potentialities Of The Person, That Is To Say, Becoming Fully Human, Everything That Person Can Be.

If You Only Have A Hammer, You Tend To See Every Problem As A Nail.

I Think Of The Self-actualizing Man Not As An Ordinary Man With Something Added, But Rather As The Ordinary Man With Nothing Taken Away. The Average Man Is A Full Human Being With Dampened And Inhibited Powers And Capabilities.

The Search For Safety Takes Its Clearest Form... In The Compulsive-obsessive Neurosis... To Frantically Order And Stabilize The World So That No Unmanageable, Unexpected Or Unfamiliar Dangers Will Ever Appear.
