12. What would be a good strategy to fulfil one's own needs?

This question is not necessarily easy to answer. And a truly definitive answer will probably not be found to this question.

We will try anyway!

We believe that this question can be answered with three more questions. A little paradoxical, but let's try!

Finding a good strategy could be achieved by asking the following questions:

Figure 12: Guidance to find good strategies

We are well aware that each of these individual questions is in turn not necessarily easy to answer, let alone that it is even possible to find a truly unqualified answer to each of them.

And yet we are convinced that the very fact of asking ourselves these questions makes a difference. Asking oneself these questions initiates a process of reflection that is otherwise often simply lost in the hustle and bustle of events. And this reflection is important! It is important because it leads us from largely unconscious to more conscious and responsible decisions.

So let's summarise

We humans have the same basic needs, but quite different strategies to fulfil them. And these strategies harbour a considerable potential for conflict.

Is that all? Does this knowledge make it possible to live more responsibly and consciously?
