Maslow's perception of Human Nature [2]: Delusion

Continuing with my last post, we said that according to Maslow, we humans are fundamentally good and we appeared to be other than that due to deficiency needs.

Maslow tells us, that although the levels of these basic needs are various, ranging from sheer gut-drives (such as hunger and thirst) to the more distinctively human needs (such as love and self-esteem), in the end they ALL ARE NEEDS FOR SOMETHING. They ALL are ACTIVATED by some sort of DEFICIENCY. And ...

" Deficiency colors our perception of reality "

Which I completely agree with. I think that every individual have different perception of the reality (If there is only one reality). We all see the World with different lenses, we all color the World with different hues, with or without deficiency of needs. I think this is one important reason of the why we get along better with some people and worst with others. We are friends with people have similar lenses to ours, with people use similar hues to color the World.

Moreover, this variety of reality perceptions is also (looking through my own lenses) one of the reasons for so many disagreements and misunderstandings among humanity. In the very end, I am afraid, most of us are still egocentric, and we believe that we are seeing and perceiving is what everyone does or must.

The question is: How can we reach communion, if every individual is different?, How can we enjoy our individuality (be ourselves) and live in communion with others?, How different parts can be a whole, laboring together, sharing together, living happily together? Because, whether we like it, we all need of each other, thus we have to commune.
