1. Acceptance - the need to be appreciated
This is not a need or a desire for many people.
2.Curiosity, the need to gain knowledge
Many people don't have curiosity unless they have a problem they need to solve.
3.Eating, the need for food
The only desire when we don't have it, for some not a desire when we have lots of it.
4.Family, the need to take care of one’s offspring
In the Western world, many don't want children. How is this explained?
5.Honor, the need to be faithful to the customary values of an individual’s ethnic group, family or clan
And yet so many reject these values utterly.
6.Idealism, the need for social justice
Whence comes the inequality if this is a human desire? Clearly it must be very weak and ineffectual if it really is a desire.
7.Independence, the need to be distinct and self-reliant
But what of the tradition of housewives?
8.Order, the need for prepared, established, and conventional environments
I accept this. But many desire to create chaos.
9.Physical activity, the need for work out of the body
So many are so sedentary.
10.Power, the need for control of will
I accept this one.
11.Romance, the need for mating or sex
What of autistic people? Some of them don't have this desire, or so I've read.
12.Saving, the need to accumulate something
Many people save nothing. Others save much.
13.Social contact, the need for relationship with others
I accept this. But some are utterly misanthropic.
14.Social status, the need for social significance
I buy this. But what of those who have no theory of mind?
15.Tranquility, the need to be secure and protected
What of those who seek danger? What of those two Australian girls who joined ISIS? Was this not operational for them?
16.Vengeance, the need to strike back against another person
What of Jesus?
