The Modern Self Problem

The modern problem is the same problem we’ve always had. We don’t need more self esteem. We have plenty of that. We are totally selfish and self consumed.  
Our problem is our self — self esteem, self-righteousness, selfishness. Pursuing “who we are down deep inside” doesn’t solve our problem, that IS our problem. Pursuing our desires IS our problem.  
“Just be you” is our slogan and it leads us to disaster for we are the problem. 
The ultra-focus on self is 100% about each of us getting whatever we want in place of “love God with your whole heart, mind, soul and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself.” None of us do this - and that is our real problem - and it is life or death. 
The modern problem is the same problem we’ve always had.
