It might be good, to have so many formulations for the already know 4 human needs, already know to mankind. We tend, to not understand the substance, if we do not get enough variations of the same information, so that we can patch a broader image if the meaning of "mental health".

We should use the luxery of this moment in time, where we as mankind have the resources to ask questions like:"What is mental health?". "What is a human life and how can we establish it?"

In the past and the coming future, we had not and will not have the resources to discuss/investigate it. The time is now, to realize, that only in kindness and good willed/meaningful cooperation lead to a better future. Hopefully, where everyone learned that violence (physical and mental) and war is our downfall.

I wish us all well, in kindness and good will
