Even the exchange rate of monetary currency fluctuates daily
it means nothing to say "important" or "high self esteem"
Self esteem is a western concept
My precious lil "parents" used to ask me "your sister is so smart. Why are you not like that?"
Some instructors said "do your best"
The dean of high school said that comparing your children is the worst thing you can do to them (drama queen)
But child protective services does not mention child comparison
Compliments are just as judgmental as criticism
Not everyone is "smart" or "important"
Bell curve
Dualism
So what?
"Life,", goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on e
"If you can't beat them, join them. Or live outside it all. Creatures that live outside it all don't last long"
Otherwise, High self esteem, is neither necessary nor sufficient
I'm not full of myself.
My mother had me tested.
The only reason why you need high self esteem, is to deal with "most people".
"Most people" have a disproportionately high amount of self esteem
Self esteem is a western invention
That's like saying, you need a car
In some areas, the bus is a couple of miles away. And comes three times a week
If you live there, you need a car
Some areas, heavy traffic and insufficient parking
It's easier without a car
Before cars were invented, nobody had a car
There is nothing so awesome about cars, that you "need" a car
But depending on when and where you are living, you might need a car to go to work
Psychology types
Over and over, tell me "you are important"
Define "important"
Dictionary defines "important", "of great worth"
"Great"
If everyone is "important", it means nothing to be "important"
Bell curve
Below salvage value
How can you prove, your retail value, is above carbon footprint?
Psychologist types tell you what they think, you want to hear
Counselor Jamie Adair told me that "you are important" and "you are smart", but I was not "important" enough for her to say "excuse me" instead of "what"
Psychologists need customers, otherwise bankrupt
You can't measure your retail value
Your retail value is constantly changing
Even the exchange rate of monetary currency, fluctuates daily
Then some counselors say, you are "important" to someone
That "someone" is not important
100 percent of zero, is still zero
Then it follows that losing friends (all things being equal) reduces your retail value
Of course not
People that live in the wild are not worth less than party animals.
(inherently, necessarily, financially, all things being equal)
