Absolute State of Completeness
Want, Need, Requirement is the beginning phase where you feel that you lack for some or the other thing. For some, it may be anything in this world. Love, money, position, power, sex, ability to express self, or just being self at times. I have been through all of them some or the other times so I would like to share my point of view regarding the same.
During the college years, the factor of ‘love’ was so important for me. Certainly, things evolved, I was in love with someone for the first time. Joy for some time and fights for the rest of time. Thus, the resultant was that I broke up with her. When I had attained the place where I knew how it felt to be in love with someone. To care for someone, to fight and what not, it was special. The person may not be as special as the feeling with which one carries the thought of being in love. It’s just that you feel certainly that you are complete in a way as you know now, what was love for you. Certainly, one feels casual for former times but the same feeling comes up for later with different person. The point I am trying to put up here is, when once attained the want, need or requirement in some people’s case I should say the greed to attain all this turns off. It all over and thus, in this state one can feel the state of completeness on those grounds.
When it came to money, I am still a student under this section. Its human nature, the more you attain wealth, the more you spend or try to spend it and the cycle to acquire more begins without any break. In fact, the most vicious circle of life is earning and spending at all times. Here, the need or requirement is ever growing. You can never be satisfied with what you have at the moment. If some people say, they are satisfied with what they have, they are flawlessly lying about the fact that they too enjoy monetary transactions to buy something or the other, or in simple words, want or need is to be satisfied. If people are satisfied then why not take and give anything they can for free? Lol.
Let us take up an example from my life. Whenever I used to see people with better position and power, I used to come up to my father and ask him as to why we don’t have the power as others. In other words, the money factor was the basic part but my father never answered the question. On his defense I should say, the part where he began and where he is now are totally different. For him, the position he wanted to acquire has been set, the need factor was over. Unfortunately, I was born at this time so for me, this was a start and certainly, the I was not satisfied on this bargained portion which existed in front of me. Still, my father did a fantastic job because he did it with honesty and not one wrong means, which is true. It’s never the part where he was wrong, for him the need condition was satisfied but for me, life had began to unravel. I would not lie on this part but I would not cross any lines to achieve success. I chose to study hard and make high stakes of position and power just a by-product. It is definite that completeness or sense of attainment of everything gives life a factor to smile and be proud. Be it soon, I want to cherish that feeling in no time. It’s a war and we have to fight for bread and butter. Not aiming too high but I aim not for bread and butter, sex, love but a sense of attainment which is absolute and real. The cost shall be only smart hard work. The point I am putting here is what is factor that we aim to survive is only need and complete attainment of anything and everything, just some people choose wrong means to achieve it.
I was reading the other day that some industrialist has achieved everything and he does not desire for more. Again, total disagreement here. If achieved everything and does not desire anything, its self actualization stage. I believe that Mr. X should rather go for meditation on Himalayas or rather just not claim to do so. If one cherishes the luxury, success, cars, pen, clothes, etc. the person can never claim to be having that stage of life.
Maslow theory in management has a very exclusive point to put up in such a case.
Maslow Pyramid
Needs and their priority. I believe once in a while one should evaluate their goals in lives with respect to this pyramid. It says a lot, because if this pyramid is not complete so is not the cycle of life. I have only put up this picture for self understanding. I am no teacher, its just that I am arguing what I have heard from people arguing over bus stops, railway station, airports, hotels, etc. Its so crucial to understand the right meaning behind the word need which is the only key to our success. I have my co-ordinates evaluated. What about rest is with their own. Still, one word of caution. Everything is dependent on time. One can run quick this span by hard work but escaping or fear is not an option.
For some, religion is inculcated as a factor which needs to satisfied on the grounds of equality. Wrong motivation here leads these people to do what we quote as terrorist. Thus, we can also argue over the point that no human can reach god or self actualization.
