MASLOW’S ESCALATOR

1.       Do we create ourselves? If not who or what does?

2.       Are people that have Alzheimer’s, still considered to have a self? Or not?

3.       Where did the attitudes of becoming self-assertive and to express all feelings, come from?

Because I’m catholic, I believe that God has created us and has created a plan for each if us, but sometimes our actions can take us down a different road. I believe that in some ways we do create ourselves, but there are things out of our understanding and out of our hands that we can’t change nor create.  Self-creation states that if you feel good, you will attract the things that make you feel good. Although people may believe that, there can be a person that is the happiest person in the world and the worst things can happen to them. We can change ourselves through free-will, which will can that plan that it made for us before we were even born. I honestly believe self-creation is just something that is made up to make people try to be happier. Just because you are happy does not mean that everything you want is going to be handed to you, and just because you are having a crappy day, does not mean everything is going to turn against you. God has created a plan for us and even if for some reason that involves some pretty horrible things, it’s only to make us stronger people. What we make of the situations is what matters and helps to shape us as the individuals we were meant to be. If you don’t handle the situation well and turn your back on the world you are creating a different plan for yourself by free-will, but you never know; that may have been the plan for you all along. You can create yourself to be who you are but there is always the plan that God or a higher power has made for you.
