O.K, most people have low self-esteem that is understood.
Considering the fact that we are human, we acquire a nature to feed our ego which inflates self-importance and superiority verses other people.
We can agree that money, power, beauty are tree things by which ego flourishes.
If we ought to empower others to love themselves and raise self-esteem, we would have to first change the traditional materialistic values which is deeply embed in society.
It is clear that many of the points that contribute to low self-esteem have to do with having more than other people ei. Keep up with the Jones, talking about monitorial value of possessions, and social class’s achievements and barriers.
Second, remove the general dictation of beauty.
I am sure that every one has there own preference and ideal of what is beautiful, but the dictation of society in live is unavoidable.
It compels us to relate and to compare between one self and the given qua. Unfortunately, many of us do not fit the status qua. Especially women, to be more specific I am referring to black women with dark ebony completion.
How can we empower then, when society it self dictates they are at extreme ends of beauty scale.
These women being part of society then-selves believe and follow the norm. Far-worst, they pass this dictation down to the next generation.
And, the vicious cycle continue.
Jesus Christ tells us to leave every thing behind and follow him.
Shed ones self of all worldly possessions, deflate ones ego to humility, become humble and love other people?
What?
Not in this Christian world.
