MORE: The Instinctual
& ‘Maslow’
While Dennis Prager
postulates that the second or third word out of a baby’s mouth after Mama and
Da Da is ‘more’, his characterization is close like in horseshoes but by behavior the
first action by the baby is the demand for ‘more' superseding language.
More, which I have in
the past postulated as habituated even acculturated, has an instinctual basis
reinforced by habituation and acculturation
(per an
email I sent to a friend named Mordecai:
Mordecai -
(notice MORE in Mordecai?)
As I
hypothesize, 'more' is the first
behavior it is the derivative of the sequence – cascade of:
Identification with body
Fear
of extinction of the body
Lack
(immortality – not to be extinct – the body)
If
Only (immortality of body)
Acquisition (Cain in Hebrew) the
strategy
To
Get
To
Have
More
(Think it
is a coincidence in marriage vowels they state 'to have and to hold' till death (or a divorce lawyer) do (due?)
you part???
Thus, one
could say - despite Maslow’s hierarchy arguing differently – MORE is
instinctual and overrides
Regardless
how one moves up Maslow's hierarchy - even to self actualization - the movement is to more. The only
difference is as one moves up - it's to the next 'more' (which is never enough)
Thus,
Maslow's hierarchy is that of More – and we are MOREons.
And the
spelling of Mas-low itself may be a give away as: “Mas” - in Spanish is More-
and Low is little diminutive (less????) - not enough.
