FREE WILLY
AND
SELF CONFIDENCE AS A THEORETICAL SUPPOSTION
On January 24, 2003 the ABC News Television Broadcast 20/20 featured an organized movement to save the Orca whale Keiko. Keiko is the name of the Orca whale that played Free Willy in the Warner Brothers Box Office Smash Hit movie entitled Free Willy. According to the 20/20 News Feature, Keiko has been trapped in the gulf of Mexico.

The Hollywood Box Office Smash hit movie, Free Willy, is about finding something in life to love and hold onto. Free Willy is the smash Hollywood box office hit movie about an angry orphaned boy who falls in love with an orca whale named Willy.
A child may not have a history of loving life. Sometimes children are pushed to be something they are not by being pressured to have self-confidence.
Instead of prompting a child to have more self confidence it may be better for parents and educators to help the child find something he or she loves. The child may need help to find reasons to love.
Searching for answers within oneself requires a strong belief in our past learning. SELF-CONFIDENCE is belief in our past learning. Many people lack self-confidence because they truthfully realize the limitations of their own past learning.
It is not possible for one person to learn all, thus gaining complete total absolute knowledge? If one person cannot learn all does self-confidence truthfully exist?
Psychologist postulate humans come into the world as a blank slate. In a the content of a related feature article I wrote entitled, A Trail of Tears and Broken Relationships Maybe Symptomatic of Depression, I made the following poignant observation:
The human capacity to love is viewed as a deep profound sacred spiritual ability reflecting the very image of God, the Divine Creator. Human emotions surrounding romantic love tend to be translated into enormous proportion and placed upon a high plane on the same level as the epic Shakespearian drama, Romeo and Juliet.
Young children are sometimes expected to have this mysterious superhuman power automatically built in. Inside the human brain, molecular motors grind and turn. Often, the molecular motors get out of kilter.

Can the concept of self-confidence be harmful? Is it possible that over emphasis upon the need to have a mysterious innate superhuman inner characteristic of self-confidence can cause a young person to search within him or her to the point of becoming too self-conscious?
Many people believe a person who stands tall and proud, accomplishing great task has some type of mysterious innate inner strength called self-confidence. Many people pretend they have this mysterious innate inner strength all their lives. People pretend all their lives they have this mysterious innate inner strength because they have learned they must have it.
Paradoxically, the belief one must have innate inner strength can cause the opposite of self-confidence. The belief one must have a mysterious innate inner strength may cause a person to have an inward self-focus.
Worry is an inward self-focus. An inward self-focus can cause a person to realize many personnel limitations. The realization of one's many personnel limitations can cause a person to act wimpish.
A person standing tall and proud stretches his neck and back to stand tall to see something he loves. The person appears proud because he is stretching his neck and back. A great leader loves his workplace, school, community, and family. A person does not stretch his neck and back because a person is blessed with some type of mysterious innate power other people do not have.
When a person has experienced a history of success while loving life he may develop self-respect. The self-respect developed from love of life maybe considered self-confidence. However the concept of self-confidence may be dangerous when applied too soon. The concept can be dangerous because self-respect requires a history of loving life.
Ironically when a person gains great knowledge from loving life to the fullest exercising that great knowledge can make a person feel uncomfortable. A person may feel uncomfortable exercising great knowledge from loving life to the fullest because exercising great knowledge makes a person become extremely conscious of all he does not know. All a person does not know is the limit of one’s past learning.
