Such Synergy

I just came across this little diagram I drew up a few years back. It’s not a bad way to ponder some elemental issues using a minimum of words. It points to the synergy that exists between these elements.

At the center is Meaning / need. I’d probably add fear to that core. Need & fear make the world go round. One pulls in and the other pushes away.
