The Side Effects of Endorphins

Abraham Maslow walked around as a young boy, believing physical strength to be the single most defining characteristic of a true male; hence, he exercised often and took up weight lifting in hopes of being transformed into a more muscular, tough-looking guy, however, he was unable to achieve this due to his humble-looking and chaste figure as well as his studiousness.(wikipedia)

But he was missing one of the most essential items in life, and that was his self-respect and dignity (Vijay) . He wrote his doctoral thesis and he thought it was a joke. By the age of 31 he had two children and various affairs and these left him empty.

Later on many scientists criticized Maslow for his lack of scientific discipline. Much of his work has been dismissed, however, I believe it to be one of the more important works in psychology. The one thing that I believe his work is missing and I believe the essential for living a rich life is the idea of Hope.

And one thing that could’ve made his life richer was a faithful companion. All research indicates he never owned a dog. Quizzically many of this theories are used as foundations for being a pet owner. If only he had a dog, his life would’ve been self-actualized.

At the age of 62 he went for a run and had a heart attack which proved fatal. So there probably is a moral to this story.. Don’t you think universal healthcare is a good idea right now. Every country in the world has it except for the third world country known as The United States.

There is always hope.
