I've had LSE my whole life; grappled and practically begged people for forgiveness at times... and even when I did receive it, it never made me feel any better about my mistakes.
Everbody makes mistakes. Sometimes we are forgiven, sometimes not, but the important thing about mistakes is learning from them because you learn more from your mistakes than your successes.
Self esteem is not something, on the other hand, that anybody else can give you, and successes do help with that
But in the end... even that is a bunch of ego stuff, and just having high self-esteem doesn't make you happy Being and being grateful being is a big part of being happy
