Thank you Kevin for your thoughtful commentary.  I had not heard the Jung quote before.  I genuinely hope there is another route.  I tend to be more humanist in my philosophical thinking, that we are always striving to become our best selves, but we have many needs that must be met along the way. (i.e. food, safety, love, education)  It is only when we perceive our basic needs are unmet that we stumble and fall short of our best selves.

Thank you for joining our conversation and adding your insights.
