Today, the young man decided, he’d thoroughly dismantle this eccentric philosopher’s theories and settle matters once and for all.
Why You Dislike Yourself
YOUTH: So after last time, I calmed myself down, focused, and thought things over.
And yet, I’ve got to say, I still can’t agree with your theories.
PHILOSOPHER: Oh? What do you find questionable about them?
YOUTH: Well, for instance, the other day I admitted that I dislike myself.
No matter what I do, I can’t find anything but shortcomings, and I can see no reason why I’d start liking myself. But of course I still want to.
You explain everything as having to do with goals, but what kind of goal could I have here?
I mean, what kind of advantage could there be in my not liking myself?
I can’t imagine there’d be a single thing to gain from it. PHILOSOPHER: I see.
You feel that you don’t have any strong points, that you’ve got nothing but shortcomings.
Whatever the facts might be, that’s how you feel. In other words, your self-esteem is extremely low.
