This is an excellent article that I think every man should read in order to have a better understanding of himself. I read this article from a magazine and I must agree with everything you said.

"Having a sense of one's intrinsic worth" is simply another way of saying "having healthy self-esteem" -- something not all kids have, of course, but I would hope that most do. Al: You’ve confused “having a sense of one’s intrinsic worth” and “having an intrinsic sense of one’s worth” — not the same thing. “Having a sense of one’s intrinsic worth” is simply another way of saying “having healthy self-esteem” — something not all kids have, of course, but I would hope that most do.
