I. OUR POST FALL REALITY

1. Physiological Needs: At the base of the pyramid are the physiological

needs, which are the most fundamental and essential requirements for

survival.

2. Safety Needs: Once physiological needs are met, individuals seek safety

and security. This level includes the need for protection from harm,

stability, and a predictable environment.

3. Love and Belonging Needs: Above the safety needs are social needs,

which involve the desire for love, affection, companionship, and a sense of

belonging.

4. Esteem Needs: Esteem needs reflect the desire for self-esteem and the

recognition and respect from others. This level is divided into two aspects:

(a) esteem from others, such as reputation, status, and recognition, and

(b) self-esteem, which includes feelings of confidence, competence, and

self-worth.

5. Self-Actualization: The highest level in Maslow's hierarchy is self-

actualization. It represents the fulfillment of one's potential and the desire

for personal growth, self-fulfillment, and self-actualization.
