yours truly (namely me)
hankers and hungers
to acquire knowledge,
and would forego
placating the basic needs and wants
according to Abraham Maslow
(a highly influential American psychologist
and a founder of humanistic psychology,
famous for his
"Hierarchy of Needs" theory,
which posits that humans are motivated
to fulfill basic needs (like food, safety)
before progressing to higher-level needs,
culminating in self-actualization
(reaching one's full potential).

He focused on human
potential and positive growth
rather than just mental illness,
introducing concepts
like "self-actualizing" people
and shifting psychology's focus
towards well-being and fulfillment.

Even if seesawing, and
