THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE BLADE
According to the renown psychologist, Abraham Maslow (April 1, 1908 – June 8, 1970), Man needs to belong in order to evolve. As you all know, a great deal of Maslow's work was devoted to how people got the best from themselves. He researched productive, well-balanced and happy people. He found that all human beings have five levels of needs to be satisfied and become their BEST selves.
LEVEL 1 involves Physical Survival Needs, which we can assume everyone reading this has attained.
LEVEL 2 involves Physical Safety Needs, which is probably the reason you're reading this. Chances are you already have a working amount personal protection skills and are here looking to enhance them. So let's focus on …

Abraham Maslow said:
“Once the (Level 1) Physical Survival and (Level 2) Safety Needs are being regularly met, a need for love , community, and belonging begin to emerge. (Level 3) needs stem from the fact that human beings are sociable and need relationships with others. The person … will hunger for affectionate relationships with people in general; for a place in the group."
