RE: Morals on the line ...

I want to thank you for your post, which definitely orovides food for thought. One question: is there a reference that identifies ethics as only coming into Maslow's heirachy of needs at "Esteem" ? It would appear to me that ethics would play a large role in love or even in safety - it may only be that when a person's physiological needs are compromised that ethics lose influence...
I will be reading this again - good work!

Great question mate. I am glad you asked! Here's maybe a better picture. To make matters simple, you need a family and the company of friends to gain ethics (from the Greek word "ήθος"). Maslow's pyramid is also like a chain, you need to fulfill the needs at the bottom in order to reach the needs on top.
Thanks for your kind words i hope for more conversations like this...
