Having good self-esteem is pure luck.
We need the right environment!
We all start with a very powerful identity. That’s natural.
Most of us are unintentionally maneuvered into being ashamed of it! Quality of life is therefore locked in for life, at rock bottom.
If that’s us, recovering our self-esteem is the most important task we could ever take on!
What happened to us?
Identity is supreme throughout world-wide life.
It’s only people who get parented away from their own identity. Losing identity is fairly new!
If we have conflict, and it really hurts our feelings, our self-esteem has been compromised.
Conflict is the first consequence of losing our identity. We no longer live, but instead, we defend ourselves. Defending ourselves is the cause of the worlds conflict.
Sounds wrong? Keep reading. There are ways to prove it.
With an intact identity, we just live, and it’s good!
Parenting is meant to encourage the efforts of the young. That’s what we have to do. That’s our natural job.
We don’t do that any more. We shut them down instead. We want obedience. Does that help them become capable? It does not! What it really does is destroy connection with their own identity.
Now we have a world full of people who don’t even know who they are!
