It is my thought that we are born mostly depraved, self-hating, and evil. This is our basic nature.
There is hope. We are also born part-good, and filled with wondrous potential to become excellent morally, spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally, and artistically.
This is our civilized nature which we are to develop by hard work and persistence self-development. If we high-esteem ourselves veridically as to our accomplishments, and veridically low-esteem ourselves where we still fall short, then we have a realistic self-assessment upon which to build that beautiful self.
