Thanks for sharing the pyramid. I confess that I have only been thinking about grooming my children at the individual level instead of pondering how they can serve a role in the wider community. Thanks, food for thought

In my view, it is less important to be comfortable and pursue happiness than to be useful and find ways to help others. Children are born selfish and greedy - which is necessary for survival - not passing judgement. Once Maslow's lower levels of the hierarchy are satisfied, it takes good influences and role models to instill empathy and compassion. These are the values we need to flourish as a society.

What are your hopes for your children?
