There are altruistic ethicists, some religious, some secular, that are mistaken in their rejection of and criticism of self-esteem studies or quests (a search to discover oneself or to self-actualize as the final cause of one’s life, the obligation to be met if one is living as the Good Spirits expect one to self-develop, to become like the Good Spirits, those spiritual individuators that exist to learn, grow, be good, serve God, others, and further become).
The collectivists seem to dismiss self-esteem and self-study ventures as shallow, selfish, narcissistic, in pursuit of instant gratification, and empty of value and meaning. It is like they have made s straw man of some superficial pseudo-individualists that travel in packs, high-fiving each other, gaining social approval while droning on and on about their about their vapid program for self-esteem and to find out who they are. I guess I oppose those tepid, surface stabs at self-realizing too.
If the individual maverizes, he self-realizes in such a way as to develop his potential to its maximum, and that is good for him, good for others, and is what the Good Spirits demand of him, and that directly hurts the common good not at all, and indirectly benefits all prodigiously, as here is one less human causing problems and pain for none, while living as an individuated supercitizen, and that helps all.
