The Pyramid

I like to rate things. I like to rate people, personalities, situations, you name it I rate it. And this rating system also applies to my life. And how I rate my own life often depends on what aspect of it I choose to rate. There is this pyramid that shows the basic needs of human survival. I learned about it in psychology years ago, Maslow's hierarchy it's called. The pyramid starts with the most basic needs such as the need for survival. The next level is safety. On this level is talking solely about the basic need for safety, like in a safe country or neighborhood. Next level is social acceptance (obvious things apply here). Next level is esteem, and the top level is self actualization. I think at the best moments of my life I was at that self-actualization level. And let me tell you it is like an analogy better than any one ever used. I think at this second I would have to be teetering on social and esteem, but I am climbing. I think that essentially as long as I continue to climb I can like country music....does that make sense?
