Esteem is essential
Posted by Cecilia under: Philosophy .
Sometimes speaking about esteem includes also speaking about the opposite. The opposite of esteem can be humiliation. But much more often the opposite of esteem is simply experienced as “non-esteem”. This means people doesn’t get esteem without being humiliated just by being ignored or disdained.
Experiences of being disdained make people feel worthless, takes away the sense of their life - seemingly. Esteem is essential - essential for life and happiness. Everybody who ever experienced this broken feeling of contempt can realise how important esteem is. This could be the approach toward esteem from the other side of life.
One Comment so far...
