With esteem we don’t need to like everything
Posted by Cecilia under: Philosophy .
When you live a life of esteem your friends might question you when you don’t have esteem for something they enjoy.
Having preferences in life such as eating, sports or hobbies is deeply human. There are as many preferences as there are people. Some like football while others like baseball. This doesn’t mean that diehard football fans don’t give esteem toward baseball. It just means they have preferences.
Not giving esteem toward something could be perceived as contempt. But expressing that you like something more than something else isn’t a sign of contempt.
Living esteem daily prevents us from expressing contempt toward something we don’t like. At the same time esteem frees us from needing to like everything. We still can have our preferences as long as we don’t disrespect people with other preferences.
One Comment so far...
