WHAT HAPPENED?

[BlueTiki]

I think the sense of shame has died.

Sadly, so do I.

I believe shame requires personal responsibility and ownership of one’s conduct; a conscience, too.

Now, we are conditioned to believe that we are victims and therefore, not responsible for our deeds and feelings. We are all broken but, it’s not our fault. Since it's not our fault, we are not responsible and since we are not responsible, we have no shame.

Stroll down the aisles of a brick and mortar book store. Search online. Self-improvement and awareness is no longer a niche market. Human repair manuals and you get to be the mechanic fixing the problem.

Look around . . . at your job, in your neighborhood, at the market, in church or a bar. Do the folks you see look like qualified mechanics to you?
