Love of Approbation

There's a desire to stand well in the estimation of others, and is one of the most powerful motives to human action. It is a selfish and inferior motive, and must be carefully confined with it's proper bounds. It is the source of one of our purest pleasures-the sympathy and approbation of the wise and good. It began with childhood, and continues well through old age.

The abuse of self esteem is pride.

To be Misplaced. To be Unloved. To be Ambiguous.

It is a world of acceptance; a very strange and lonely place.
