It's just that a "Self Actualzied" person gives the impression that people are walking around all the time as self actualized. When in reality this happens fairly rarely... even among people who others would now label as "self actualized" people. Also it implies permanence and also any one need can be taken a way and such people could never self actualize again. This is stuff that's often misswritten in textbooks all the time and leads to a lot of errors on what people said. Textbooks are useless when you could just as eaisly read their writings first hand. It's been co-opted by so many people and scam artists that Maslows actual work in the subject hardly seems to matter anymore or is ever taught correctly. |
Your right, I agree that few if any people ever actually reach a state of self-actualization.
But you are still the king of nitpickers ;)
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
