forgot to follow up with a question: To what extent does good self-esteem, all the shades of grey in between, and bad self-esteem determine the quality of one's writing?
oh no, did you have to ask that?
Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty
~Albert Einstein
WHat do you think??
I think they are inextricably related but one doesn't cancel the other out. Writing, all kinds, can happen in either condition but I'd venture that the more inspiring kind would eminate from persons with good self-esteem as differentiated from arrogance. I see a relationship, a complicated one. quasimodo1
Is there a question in there??
I don't know --- sometimes writing can be therapeutic. As far as inspirational value, I'd say that would come from the writer's ability to combine words and put it down, self-esteem and/or arrogance or not.Originally Posted by quasimodo1
And what is self-esteem exactly? What are the origins of this term and who came up with it? I heard about "self-esteem" in some class we had to take in middle school and all I can remember is self-esteem = don't smoke drugs. *edit* this is questions only isn't it? Did I just post several declarative sentences in a thread for interogative sentences only? where is my dunce cap?

Will a chef's cap suffice?

does that imply that you can cook?
I can cook ONLY if my life depends on it
But am I a good cook, THAT is the question!

Well, my dad always said the only thing worse than a woman that can cook and won't is a woman who can't cook and will! Would you believe I had an aunt like that? Her cooking would drive a starving begger away from the door at full tilt just from the smell, know what I mean?

I know what you mean, but did she ever improve? isn't the old saying correct, if at first you don't succeed..?
as in "try try again?"
