m)1. A painful emotion caused by a strong sense of guilt, embarrassment, unworthiness, or disgrace.
2. One that brings dishonor, disgrace, or condemnation.
3. A great disappointment.
I had the good privilege of waking up with such feelings of shame. I can trace the shame all the way back to its root, a particular set of shameful actions stem from. The actions in question is the very reason why I feel the way I do this morning, no doubt. Without going into details, let me lay it down straight and simple: our actions, no matter how small or insignificant at the time, can potentially have a great and huge impact later on. This is one of the laws of thermodynamics I think. And this is especially true if your actions go against the grain of another person, even if it is out of incredible ignorance, or out of genuinely good intentions.
so here i am, as hungry as a cow...sitting in bed, about to wash up and get dressed, and get ready for a full and cold saturday, going through life the best i can. and though i've no choice but to carry this baggage of shame with wherever i go, i do consider it a privilege to know it. with it i'm wiser and less prone to repeat. knowing it i will remember and will never forget why i feel the way i do. but now i am going to deep, and i'm afraid that i can't go into details.
