Additional quotes by Abraham Maslow

Hasta insanlar, hasta bir kültürün ürünleridir. Sağlıklı insanlar ise ancak sağlıklı bir kültürde yetişebilirler. Bununla birlikte, hasta insanların yaşadıkları kültürü daha da bozduğu, sağlıklı insanların ise daha sağlıklı bir kültür yarattığı da bir gerçektir. Bireyin sağlığını geliştirmek daha iyi bir dünya yaratmanın yollarından biridir. Diğer bir deyişle, kişisel gelişimin özendirilme olasılığı yüksektir; var olan nevrotik belirtilerin yardım olmadan sağaltılabilme olasılığı ise daha düşüktür. Bir insanın daha dürüst olmayı seçmesi, kendi takıntı ve saplantıların sağaltmaya çalışmasından çok daha kolaydır.

Shortsighted people make [experientialism and social reform] opposites, mutually exclusive. [...] The empirical fact is that self-actualizing people, our best experiencers, are also our most compassionate, our great improvers and reformers of society, our most effective fighters against injustice, inequality, slavery, cruelty, exploitation (and also our best fighters for excellence, effectiveness, competence). And it also becomes clearer and clearer that our best 'helpers' are the most fully human persons. What I may call the bodhisattvic path is an integration of self-improvement and social zeal, i.e., the best way to become a better 'helper' is to become a better person.
