The 144 is 72 human traits and 72 animal traits. Other ancient manuscripts have more or less. the number refers to (in essence) 72 plus and 72 minus. It is the total of personality, the 144 may include neutrals. We haven't finished the ciphers. From one area of the ancient peoples to another it may be different. Each had their own.
The concepts of love and hate are clearly defined in any society.

You would require a favorable definition of "social structure" and enough special pleading to choke a horse. Different (than some, in whole) perhaps, but unique or "human", not even remotely. We're a little late to the whole "social structure" game in fact. But by all means, continue with the 143 other "aspects to our being".Social structure is a common phenomenon, you belong to one also.
There are certain number of spiritual traits that exist. So far in American society we have listed 48. Ancient cultures had more. We don't know why the book has 144. Different cultures have different insights. In out study group I am not the one working on it. I use the 144 because it is the most we have found that relates to human quantity. You have a different interpretation of human then we do. Can you deny you have no human an animal traits.
