In reply to Is high self-esteem necessary?, posted by caraher on July 7, 2006, at 12:18:32
I am going to enjoy this board, I can see already.
From what I read in those lovely articles, I agree that self-esteem is quite abstract and is in fact a means not an end.
Allow me to throw in a little *curtm* simplicity on top of this. The optimum level of self esteem is achieved when we learn to accept that we are worth more to others than to ourselves. The more selfless we become, the more become ourselves.
