Self esteem is not an objective reality. Self esteem pertains to self perception of one's own value according to some system of values. Self confidence is related to self esteem. Both pertain to how well connected a person is with personal and communal integrity through open and honest dialogue which is worthy of respect by members of the community. An alienated person may be ignorant and have an unrealistic self esteem, feeling overly self important in terms of some system of values that does not promote both personal and communal integrity. Self can not define self to be important with integrity. Self importance which is the product of the self alone is not worthy of respect. An unbiased sense of one's own importance is a fruit of communal judgment, not the conclusion of isolated consideration of one's own self. There is no scientific way to measure one's own importance by one's self. Respectable self esteem is a communal fruit. Personal creativity depends upon a healthy self esteem and related self confidence. People with low self esteem and low self confidence are unlikely to feel secure enough to take the risk of being unconventional enough to be creative. Creativity thus depends upon the presence of a supportive integrative community. It is the nature of the presence of the members of such a community which enables its members to be creative. It is as much by being who they are as it is by what they say and do that they enable creativity. In the presence of integrative beings with integrity others can be secure enough themselves to be creative. People who are thus freed to be vulnerable can take the risks entailed in creativity.
