is it inherent? do we learn it?
is it good? is it bad?
some say that shame teaches us to stay within the limits of what is socially acceptable..in a good way. but doesnt shame hinder us in so many ways?
sometimes i feel like shame is taught by parents, taught at as young an age as possible. they were ashamed, so they shame their children...what would it be to live without harmful shame?
what does shame look like? -- bent over, head down, curved back, submission -- showing that in fashion??
similar to pain -- how does it change us? how does it constrict us? prohibit us from moving forward? how does it make us look different?
what else constricts?
- boxes
- straight jackets
- prison
- ropes
- impressions
- lack of self confidence
