RE: The biggest mistake in the FIRE movement
I am familiar with Maslow's Hierachy of needs but I don't think Self Actualization is an ultimate end goal that we can permanently remain in @beunconstrained.
Life has ups and downs, sometimes we are in a position to give, and sometimes we are not. If you take a way a self-actualized person's food, shelter, water and safety they will fall right back down to the bottom, and I believe that can and does happen.
One of the things I have that I can share is goodwill. I want everyone to be healthy and free of suffering. If my finances improve with Steem, I will be able to alleviate people's suffering as I have in the past.
Even if I am not in the realm of self-actualization, helping people with random acts of kindness increases my self-esteem. I know that from experience and it also says so in my personality profile on 16 Personalities.
Yes, I believe that Maslow's hierachy is an ongoing, moving guage. We strive to get to the top of the pyramid, but we constantly have to start at the bottom and climb up. Over and over again. It is life's journey. But when you reach the top, giving back is the ultimate reward.
