prosperity dance!

Excercpts from the book “Six Pillars of self-esteem” by Nathaniel Branden

…..in almost every part of the world and throught virtually all the centuries behind us, women has been regarded, and been taught to regard themselves, as the inferior to men. Women’s second class status is a pronounced aspect of every brand of religious fundamentlism-be it jewish, Christian, Islamic, or Hindu.

 Women as inferior is not an idea that supports female self-esteem.

 

men are judged, and are encouraged to judge themselves, by how well they can financially take care of others. Men are socialized to be “servants” fully as much as women; only the forms of culturally encouraged servitude are different. if a man cannot support a woman, he tends to lose stature in her eyes and in his own. it would take unusual independence and self-esteem to challenge this culturally induced attitude and to ask “why is this the gauge of my value as a man?”

throught human history, most societies and cultures have been dominated by the tribal mentality. the essence of the tribal mentality is that is makes as such the supreme good and denigrates the importance of the individual. In such a society the individual is socialized to hold him or herself in low self-esteem relative to the group. Pride tend to be labeled as vice. Self-sacrificed is enjoined. passionate individual attachment are seen as threatening to tribal values and tribal authority. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………(indeed a great book for people who are not holding only their opinions and religions as truth. and who want to be selfish and want to develop their self-esteem.)
