Hello Sam I am;
I was please to see a response to my comment on self-esteem?
Not in this Christian world.
To attack the issue of self-esteem, we need to understand that people don't just decide to have low self-esteem.
This is some thing that is deeply embedded in our thoughts.
The self-esteem pattern is acquired trough experience with the world as a child.
We grow-up believing what parents, teacher, pears, colleagues, religious figures and the media tell us. The same way we develop stereo types and labels of certain people.
I am afraid that religion is the number one authority utilized to justify the dictation of morality, superiority and decency, example; the three major religions governing the world today Christianity, Judaism and Musluman.
Just look at the killing, the hatred and destruction of humanity all with only one justification "to proclaim superiority imposed on the leaders by God"
In other words, clinging to superiority by posing inferiority on the other.
The same way many of us fight low self-esteem by pointing out the differences of others and of course, pressing this entitlement or worthiness from God. Thus, implying to those less fortunate are not worthy of the grace of God, therefore labeled inferior.
With this point of view materialism arises.
In this Christian world we find our self keeping up with the Jones to proof that we are worthy of the grace of God.
Ask those that commit suicide how low and unworthy they felt as a Christian before the thought of suicide?
