The problem with giving up shame for Lent is that Lent ends. Soon. Sooner than I had anticipated.
I thought this was a good move for me but now I am filled with the dread of the shame that awaits once Lent is over.
So for a late Humas resolution, I am giving up the dread of shame for when Lent ends, which ends me giving up shame for Lent. Wrap that around your mind J.J. Abrams.
Cheers to clean slates.
Mom here - I can't imagine what you would be doing that would give you shame - so why the need to fear the end to your shame? Ergo, your shame is a sham or faux-shame. However, if you are partaking in activities that would result in feelings of shame, then all I can say is "for shame, for shame".
ReplyDeleteMom message over.
Cheers to clean sheets as well!
ReplyDeleteMost people give up things that they like for lent, what a clever idea to give up something like shame. I think you're on to something that could catch on. Don't give up coffee, give up guilt instead. Keep eating that chocolate but give up jealousy.
ReplyDeleteDon't be so quick to give up one of the key legs in the trinity of human motivation Guilt-Shame-Fear. Each plays a crucial role in driving human prograss forward. It's what makes us human after all.
