The Perestroika of Self-Esteem


How does one embark on this seemingly impossible task?

The loss of self-esteem is a terrible thing. How do you retrieve it? Where does it even go?

The answer is in the enchanted forest. Everyone is lost in the forest.  

When a preying mantis male encounters a female and the two mate, the wedding ceremony typically ends with the female consuming the male.  The reason:  it is highly unlikely that the mantis will find another female, and so he has to make the most of his opportunity. Rather than destroy the female's self-esteem, the male instead enriches, with literally all he can offer, both the mind and body of his invertebrate bride.
