I think I already gave a number of examples... but you've put words in my
head by saying that they are denied.  What I'm saying is that people, for
various reasons, fail to learn how to see that their needs are met
legitimately, and thus turn to other ways.  This is not to imply that their
eyes simply need to be opened.  Habits are tough to change, especially when
they're rewarded with endorphin production!

I can't get specific about how to meet everyone's needs!  Each person is an
individual, with needs that differ.  But I think it is a poor approach to
start by trying to quell the urge to feel good.  That's the wrong side of
the equation to start with; it's better to first try to help people learn to
meet their needs, I think.  Of course, they often don't want to change...
