keeping your head in the sand emu-style.

Shame is one of the worst feelings in the world.
You know when you just want to hide from the entire planet, curl up in a corner and hope the ground swallows you up?
Absolutely one of my most hated feelings ever.
Feeling like,
You have stuffed up bad and there is nothing you can do about it.
Your own mind condemns you harder than the real world actually is, by torturing you with the fact that the real world is looking down upon you.

Well, that didn't really make sense.
That's coz shame doesn't make sense.
Most of the time it exists in your head,
In that infinite orb of consciousness that defines every feeling you experience.

Shame is the result of,
Noticing the difference between society's expectations of the average person,
And what you yourself are like.

What you yourself are like and the way in which you behave is what makes you an individual.
You should never be afraid to be different.

So generally, shame is felt when you haven't lived up to these social standards,
And if everyone did live up to the same standards,
No one would be different.
No one would take risks.
No one would find love.
No one would work towards a better way of living.

So don't be ashamed.
Coz you deserve to live on this earth just as much as every other person on it. :)

And no one should be comdemning you or telling you otherwise.
