five simple needs

The five simple needs are defined as: Shelter, nutrition, community, fulfillment, and expression.

•shelter= a home that feels secure
•nutrition= food and water that can be absorbed and processed by the individuals body properly
•fulfillment= the feeling you are doing what you were"meant to", the freedom to pursue areas of talent and interest
•expression= the ability to communicate internal states and have that understanding reflected

Maslows hierarchy of needs is great but regarding need there is no hierarchy- a need is "all or none" there is no partial fulfillment of a need either you are sated or suffering.

Any of these needs not being fulfilled will lead to imminent deterioration of mind/body/spirit and results in behaviors of isolation and desperation.

The source of all problems in the world are from an unmet need which requires empathy and understanding to correct as opposed to assumption, hate, and rejection.
I thought I had all my needs met with food, water, and shelter but the real reason I've been feeling so depressed is I've been missing my five simple needs- Everything I do is for someone else yet I feel no community connection in my work environment. I need to align more with my passion work to feel like me again!
