Our Most Pressing Need · Have Clarity on What Matters
⁘ “We have our hierarchy of needs. Physical, emotional, intellectual, identity concerns to be met. They matter. What matters more is clarity. If you look into your needs through a lens of distortion — how will your true needs be met?”
By the way.
What matters – like actually matters, right?
We obviously have our hierarchies of needs.
We have our physical, emotional, intellectual, and identity needs.
When we are on a particular level of this hierarchy of needs,
on a particular step in the pyramid,
whatever that we are lacking,
where our fulfillment is pending,
that seems to matter the most.
But yet there is something that matters much more – over and above all of this.
There is the underlying, definitive, fundamental need for clarity.
Freedom from cognitive distortion.
You ensure with your distortions that your true needs will never be met.
You only pursue illusions in the name of what matters.
So yes, all of those matter –
but what matters more is your clarity over what matters.
