I had decided not to post on his musings as they usually lack evidence of any planning as to destination but this one was a particularly amazing frolic!

The 'hierarchy' of need is an interesting subject, but I question if it really answers the question asked- the coherence is lacking because the point to connect has been lost, obscured or never made. As you suggest eccles, the term 'self worth' needs defining too!

I'll make a last plea for defining terms--- it helps clarify thoughts!
