	Have you taken a look at who spends money on those books?
	Some of those people that lost themselves in the well-being of others
	at an early point in life. Maybe you are overlooking the fact that
	there is a delicate balance which EACH of us has to locate for
	ourselves.
	Granted, it would be great if they could just teach you in school
	with everything else. But we have to realize, there is a REASON that
	grown people have problems with self-esteem.
