Fulfilling our basic needs and much more: Sun Messages

I vividly remember learning about “the five basic needs” in fourth grade. I dutifully memorized: Air, water, food, shelter, clothing. I know – much of what we need these days have extended or hyper-extended these brief categories. Yes, electronics have reached “necessity” for many.And work.And camaraderie.And cooperation. This Sun Messages column tries to tap into some of the needs psychologist Abraham Maslow put forth, with necessities forming a base extending upward to self-actualization.
