SELF- ACTUALIZATION
8
More efficient perception of reality and more
comfortable relations with it. Self-actualizing
people distinguish far more easily than most the
fresh, concrete, and idiosyncratic from the
generic, abstract, and rubricized. The
consequence is that they live more in the real
world than in the man-made set of concepts,
expectations, beliefs, and stereotypes which most
people confuse with the world. . . . they can
tolerate the ambiguous.

to this point of independence from love and
respect, is to have been given plenty of this
very same love and respect in the past.
