this is some pretty smart observing by secular people; the ultimate goal can be described as fulfillment
achieving this alway seems illusory; people think they have it then find the satisfaction is not what they expected;
because the only way to fulfill our God made potential is by having a close relationship with our creator

Just wondering if what ppl think of this theory - particulaurly the top tier - which is "self actualisation".Some say that it is New Agey and that if we have food and clothing, with this we will be content.

I don't get how the theory is new-agey. I haven't heard of any real academic empirical study that's been done to try to support the theory. It's one of those old theories that people sort of accept without evidence. I haven't heard of any research supporting the idea of cognitive dissonance either, maybe since that one just seems to make a lot of sense.

I don't believe at all in this particular theory (Maslows that is). I think needs can change totally indepenently of other needs being fulfilled or not. (if I am hungry and alone, I don't stop feeling alone just because I am hungry).

Yes
but a person who lacks food and water can still long deeply for other things.
someone living under threat of war might still long to one day "be something" (a composer perhaps)
