You Gotta Believe
January 7, 2012Several people I know suffer from the mentally crippling disease known as low self-esteem. Its rival, egotism, is damaging but not in the same way. Low self-esteem limits peoples’ greatness not by reducing their ability, but by reducing their will and opinion of their ability.
Low self-esteem is something that I sometimes have trouble comprehending. Even if someone is ugly or unskilled or whatever, moping about it won’t help. These people, my good friends, don’t understand that they are wonderful people! And it makes me angry because these wonderfully brilliant people are walking around the earth thinking about self-loathing when they can be thinking about changing the world or whatever they need to be thinking about. And it’s not like I can just tell these people they’re greater than they are; you see, I’m quite socially inept.
You gotta believe, yo.
Also, not sure if I’ll continue this blog. No point speaking to ears that aren’t there.
Who are you calling earless?
