[Quote No.39731] Need Area: Body > General
"[Why is 'self-defence martial arts' important to learn? It is important, if we are to be happy, that we address all of our needs. To that end, here is a brief but very useful breakdown of our hierarchical human needs according to the very highly regarded psychology researcher and theorist, Abraham Maslow:]
Maslow's Holistic Dynamic Needs Hierarchy - [in order of the priority of those needs - P.S. L.E.SA:] - P = Physiological, - S = Safety, - L = Belongingness and Love, - E = Esteem, - SA = Self-Actualization.
[The high priority of the Physiological and Safety needs demand that we personally take responsibility for the safety of ourselves and those we love. While most societies have police to maintain law and order that only works if the police are there in time. It should also be noted that the high priority of the Physiological and Safety needs are the reason why societies and countries have laws, police and national defence forces.]" - Abraham Maslow
Famous and highly-respected, psychology researcher and theorist.

[Quote No.40917] Need Area: Body > General
"[The mystery of death:] Death seems to be so distant, yet it is always so near. Distant because we always imagine it at some time yet to come; near because it can strike at any moment. While our death is certain, its hour is unpredictable. When it comes, no eloquence can persuade it to wait, no power can stop it, no wealth can buy it off, no beauty seduce it... The way we think about death has a considerable impact on our quality of life. Some people are terrified of it, others prefer to ignore it, yet others contemplate it so as to better appreciate [and be grateful for] every passing moment and to recognize what is worth living [and giving their life] for. Accepting death as a part of life serves as a spur to diligence and saves us from wasting our time on vain distractions [and petty annoyances - i.e. ‘Life’s too short for...’]...We do not need to live haunted by death, but we must remain aware of the fragility of existence [if we are to make the most of this precious gift of life and what we can do with it and therefore leave behind to make life better for those that follow us just as those before us have done for us]. This understanding will help us appreciate fully the time we have left to live [optimistically; in the sense of the old saying, ‘ An optimist is a person who is glad that their glass is half full rather than a pessimist who is sad their glass is half empty.’ Then]... Can anyone who has made the most of human life’s extraordinary potential have anything to regret? The farmer who has labored, sown, and reaped his harvest, in good weather and in bad, has nothing to regret; he has done his best. We may blame ourselves only for what we have neglected to do. Someone who has used every second of her life to become a better person and to contribute to other’s happiness can die in peace... Is death like a flame being extinguished, a drop of water being absorbed into parched soil? If so, as Epicurus asserted, it has no bearing on happiness: ‘So death, the most frightening of bad things, is nothing to us; since when we exist, death is not yet present, and when death is present, then we do not exist.’ But what if death is just a transition and our consciousness will continue to experience countless states of existence? We will need to face this important passage not by focusing on our fear of the suffering of the moment, but by adopting an altruistic, peaceful attitude, free of grasping at possessions and loved ones. In any case, it is surely preferable to spend our final months or moments in serenity than in anxiety. What good does it do to be tormented by the thought of leaving our loved ones and possessions behind and obsessing over the decay of the body? ...The wise man enjoys a very special kind of freedom: prepared for death, he appreciates every moment of life’s bounty. He lives each day as if it were his only one. That day naturally becomes the most precious of his existence...He knows he has no time to lose, that time is precious, and that it is foolish to waste it in idleness. When death finally comes for him, he dies tranquilly, without sadness or regret, without attachment to what he is leaving behind. He leaves life as the eagle soars into the blue." - Matthieu Ricard

[Quote No.41320] Need Area: Body > General
"[Self-defence and martial arts:] Because [each] man [and woman] has a right to life he [or she] has a right to defend that life. Without the right to self-defence the right to life is a meaningless phrase. If a man [or woman] has a right to defend his [or her] life against aggression he [or she] also has a right to defend all his [or her] possessions because these possessions are the results of his [or her] investment of time and energy, in other words his [or her] investment of parts of his [or her] life and are thus extensions of that life." - Linda and Morris Tannehill

[Quote No.52702] Need Area: Body > General
"[Poem: about the brevity of life. The poem is occasionally used in death notices and funeral orations.]
'Vitae Summa Brevis Spem Nos Vetat Incohare Longam'
[Latin for 'The brief sum of life forbids us the hope of enduring long' - Horace]
They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
Love and desire and hate:
I think they have no portion in us after
We pass the gate.
They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.
" - Ernest Christopher Dowson
(1867 - 1900) English poet, novelist, and short-story writer, often associated with the Decadent movement.

The right of self-defense is not something the government bestows upon its citizens. It is an inalienable right, older than the Constitution itself. It existed prior to government and prior to the social contract of our Constitution." - Larry Craig
