10 characteristics of mental health
1. Clearer perception of reality.
2. open to experiences.
3. integrity, wholeness of person, unity.
4. spontaneous, expressive, alive.
5. real self, firm idendity, autonomy, unique.
6. objective, detachment, transcendence of self.
7, exploration of creativity.
8. ability to fuse concreteness and abstractness, feeling and
reasoning, i.e., dichotomies.
9. democratic(I prefer egalitarian).
10.love of self and others(and nature, I'd like to add).
Compiled from "On being" by Abraham Maslow.
11. All 10 of these have to work together, not separately;
otherwise a dictator will perfectly fit #5.
Notes on
1. Reality is very elusive, because of personal neurosis
(filters), cultures, habits, etc. even without Heisenberg's
Uncertainty Principle in nature.
2. Willingness to try something new and better; curiousity.
3. You all know Il-Guan-Sung; no self-contradiction.
4. Not too shy(old Koreans thought shyness was a virtue), not
too flippant or exaggerating(a typical teenager). Balance,
just right in the context, and honest feeling.
5. a strong conviction in self.
6. Ability to criticise self. See quotes below.
7. Curiousity, willingness try anything new to improve.
8. Joong-Yong, the middle ground is not good enough. Synthesyze
all the dots to a better bigger whole.
9. democratic now, egalitarian in future, I think.
10.Unless I love myself first(EQ), I would not be qualified to
love others(SQ). Since we are part of nature, destroying
nature would be killing us in the end.

"What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself" - Abraham Maslow.
"Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion for the real and
for the truth." - A. M.
"If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail" - A. M.

When A. Maslow was researching on self-actualizing people with
above 10 characteristics, he found about 11% of the population
possesed them. Considering modern cultures and attitudes, it
would be a lot lower than that now, I believe.
