People have decided that shame is bad for us now and it's one of the worst decisions they could have made. Shame is useful. Shame is your conscience telling you that you have fucked up and need to correct something. If you have given yourself over to self-indulgent gluttony, you should feel shame - that's your mind's way of telling you that you need to change your ways. But people these days feel like they should just be open and free about everything they do, no matter how degrading or destructive of degenerate. No shame for being a massive glutton; no shame for being a gigantic whore; no shame for being a selfish narcissist. And look at how we begin to circle the drain as a society. If we could start shaming people again society would be better.
