Learning from the following favorite words：
“
Among our basic psychological needs, two universal ones stand out in particular. One is protection, or safety, which promises the absence of pain. Another is connection, or love, which promises the presence of pleasure. How can we protect and connect?
Since life is , by nature, insecure and since love often feels insufficient, it is not always easy for us to meet these needs fully. But we can begin the process.
