Self esteem, as a false self confidence, a belief that everything will go right, can be devastating. True self esteem is the ability to face failure and adversity, without being morally crushed. True self esteem enables one to learn from failures and use that knowledge as a basis for success.
Which self esteem is it that the new generation is brimming with?
They voted themselves Obama because they were afraid of war. Not realizing that if we let countries push us around, their economic well being is going to be gone. That’s how dumb these kiddies are.
To quote the rock band Cracker “I hate my generation”.
What these kids don’t realize is that self-esteem is earned, not given.
