    What is the “nature” of human nature? In our society it is often taught that human nature is selfish, individualistic, aggressive, and competitive. But what if that is not human nature, what if our nature is something entirely different? In this video Dr. Gabor Maté explains that our behavior does not define our nature, but instead it is our needs that define our nature. If our needs are not met, then we will adapt, and our behavior will follow the adaptation. At our core we are dependent on love, connection, care-taking, and attachment. In other words, we are born to love. Newborns cannot survive without love. Therefore our true nature is to love, and love is required for our species to exist. If we live in a society that does not provide or support our most basic needs then our society will adapt and our behavior will not reflect our true nature. Today’s modern societies are incredible and it’s amazing to witness our innovation, ability to control our environment, and experience advances in medicine; just to name a few. However, it’s evident that our innovation and focus on material resources has out paced our biology and basic needs. Therefore, despite many advances, we will see illness, dysfunction, and trauma persist until we are able to truly understand what our most basic needs are and how to provide them to one another.

    "Relationship is everything... from beginning, to in between, and to more than... beyond."
    "Whether in your child, or those of another -- deliver angels... unfold their wings."
    "Each child loved in whole, comes to light upon angel's wings -- for every child receives a parent, as if God."
    "Hold tenderly... chime lovingly... children all before, and all to come."
    "Angels.. know the chords of our instrument. And, may you play your part - in the unfolding of their wings."
    ~ Paul Jung
    "Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future.” ~ Maria Montessori
    “It’s not just hunger of the body, it’s the hunger of the soul.” ~ Audrey Hepburn. My mother "believed a child is not just entitled to a full belly and good education. They were also entitled to love and affection." ~ Sean Hepburn Ferrer, son of Audrey Hepburn
    "Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world." "What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family." "Intense love does not measure, it just gives." ~ Mother Teresa
    “The art of mothering is to teach the art of living to children.” ~ Elaine Heffner

    "Our afflictions, and addictions -- are as wicked, or wise -- as our understanding of them (e.g. greed is a portentous pig's appetite - for beyond what sufficiently fills one's trough)."
    "The health of human society depends on the health of its individuals. But when individuals act individually, the cascade of compromised individual health & societal health never ends... "
    "The absence of nurture and nature, is behind the absence of conscience and empathy, which is fueling humanity's current possible demise."
    "In taking care of each other, we affirm our human nature, our collective strength and wholeness, our societal and ecological stewardship, our future. This is our soul.. our sole raison d'etre."
    "It is the heart & touch behind our transactions, that defines value, and a measure beyond any currency."
    "I cannot lie.. that I'm a capitalist at heart. If I'm going to sell you something, I am going to sell you on yourself. As my self is your self, I cannot lie."
    "The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to see your self and part, in the sea of humanity."
    "Not one, not thousands, nor a world.. can step back from an awakening."
    ~ Paul Jung
