NEEDS BY RISHI KRISHNAN, DUBLIN, CA

Needs lie at the heart of our feelings—they are fundamental to life and shared by everyone. When our needs are fulfilled, we experience positive emotions such as joy, contentment, and peace. Understanding and honoring these needs not only nurtures our well-being but also strengthens the bonds we share with others. By recognizing the commonalities in our needs, we create a foundation for empathy, connection, and a more joyful, united community.
