There is so much shame and guilt in our society, and I think it has deprived a lot of people from living fully. We are all facing battles... We've all had someone who has hurt us. So let's talk about it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One of the misfortunes of our time is that in getting rid of false shame we have killed off so much real shame as well.
Society isn't good at dealing with people who have something concrete to feel guilty about or who are dealing with a loss.
There is no shame like poor shame. It can make you warm and charming, bitter and resentful, all at once.
Sadly, we do a much better job of making people feel guilty than we do of delivering them from the guilt we create. We need to confess this and change our ways.
We're all walking around trying to deal with a certain amount of shame, to repress it. And we restrict our mental lives to smaller and smaller areas.
Where does guilt and punishment lie, and are we not more expressive over remorse or guilt when other people see the badness in us?
I really believe guilt finds its way out of a person.
I think so many people live their whole life in fear and doubt and shame.
Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It's the fear that we're not good enough.
There are so many people out there with less shame talking about their problems.
