Neo-Tech Advantage #11
Happiness of man and woman is not based on sex or pleasure, but on self-esteem. Self-esteem acquired through honesty and productivity is the requisite for romantic love and psychuous pleasures. Within a romantic-love relationship, psychuous sex adds an intensity to human pleasure unattainable elsewhere in life. Psychuous pleasures are the rewards for day-by-day, rational, productive actions. Psychuous pleasures, financial prosperity, romantic love, and long-range happiness are the rewards of a productive, honest life.
Self-esteem is a person's estimation of his or her self-worth. Self-esteem is based on the ability to live independently, happily, competently. Self-esteem is dependent on one's effectiveness in dealing with reality. A high level of self-esteem requires a commitment to objectivity and honesty. But objectivity and honesty do not occur automatically. One must constantly work hard to be objective and honest. And one must always work to maintain those qualities or they will slip away.
Self-esteem is that emotion of feeling worthy and competent to live in this world -- of feeling in control of life. That feeling depends on having a value-producer orientation or value-destroyer orientation as listed in the following self-evaluation test:
- I earn my livelihood by producing competitive values tradeable in the free market.
- I am a student gaining knowledge necessary to become a producer of values tradeable in the free market.
Value-Destroyer Orientation
- I do not earn my livelihood by producing values for others. Instead, I live off of values produced by others.
- I am a student learning how to manipulate people by using government, religion, or other forms of neocheating and mysticism to usurp a livelihood from the value producers.
Orientation for Positive Changes
- I will stop living as a usurper and learn to become a producer of competitive values in order to earn my prosperity and achieve happiness.
- I will withdraw my support from those neocheaters who through direct or indirect force or coercion live off the efforts of others.

In human, there's no direction without GOD and his acceptance religion. There's no pleasure, there's no love, there's no sensitivity. There's no value, there's no moral. In short there's no reason for our very own existence. From HIM we came and to HIM we'll return. Peace…
Well, Fauzi, I checked you blog and see you're coming from Singapore. Nice place. Been there a couple of times myself.
I have no God, yet I manage to attain pleasure, love, sesitivity, and [especially] values and morals.
The reason for our very own existence is simple and basic: ourselves; individually.
Everyone as an end in themselves. What a divine purpose.
Hey there Richard, been to singapore? Cool! Maybe, we can meet sometime who knows? But, hey Richard, if you don't believe in GOD then it's your choice. It's a matter of faith. And there's no how do you say it, there's no force in religion.
Although, I might have to add that the pleasure you are talking about like love, sensitivity really is to me superficial. It's like eating chocolate. Yeah, sure everyone loves chocolates but do you know why you love it? Without GOD, earth will collide against other planets etc. But, that's my opinion. There's rules, law of the universe, law of mankind. So much example to show you that GOD exist. Again that's my opinion and faith. I'm not going to tell you you're going to hell or anything. It's between you and HIM.
Human, is like that. They want to see it to believe it. But, there's a story that goes, a non-believer (in GOD)was standing beside hell fire and going to be thrown in. He ask GOD for forgiveness and to be send back to earth and he'll believe in HIM again. But, GOD says, even if the man is return to earth. He'll do it again and forget about his promise and GOD. Such is mankind!
When Noah ask his people to believe in him and GOD. Some believe, some don't. That's human. Like you say, they have free will to choose. It's beyond human comprehension. Beyond my comprehension even.
Faith, is a 'gift'. If you don't have it, you don't have it. Then, that's another matter. Okay, I've talk or rather type too much. Have a good day!
