that the world calls
immoral
are books that
show the world
its own shame. "
Oscar Wilde
" What do you regard
as most humane?
To spare someone
shame. "

"The only shame is to have none."
Blaise Pascal
" It is the false shame
of fools
to try to conceal
wounds
that have not
healed. "

Shame is a lousy teacher.
All you remember
is the humiliation;
Overshadowing
any other learning
in the life and heart
of the learner.
What shame do you still carry?
That is a worthwhile question.
You may not wish to share it
but self - honesty
is the road to Your
Freedom; And Power.

Thanks for visiting!
Warmly, cloudia
I don't think we can go through life without doing something we regret. It is part of the learning experience and causes introspection, and hopefully it teaches us to be kinder. Have a wonderful day Cloudia :)
ReplyDeleteDitto what Denise said Cloudia..but also I really hate to see young people or anyone being humiliated.
ReplyDeleteLove the burning sunset colors. The buildings are holding up the cloud shelf in your next photo. I knew plants were waterproof, but those big drops are amazing. Must be cautious not to tease people if it turns into shame. I don't think I do that....DrumMajor
ReplyDeletei LOVE the last photo with the water droplets!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful thoughts! And you're so right, shame does make a bad teacher.
ReplyDeleteYou brave people, touching this topic! You each have my respect and happy thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteI've definitely felt shame and regret over some decisions I've made - it bothered me more when I was younger, I think. Now I feel like it helped me learn (just a wee) bit more about myself.
ReplyDeleteI love the sunset in the first, and I love the quote made by you, superb.
ReplyDeletei grew up in the church of shame...and humiliation...there are time i do wrong...and i try to make ammends directly...but shame is a very ugly tool...
ReplyDeletealoha from va
Tough subject, Clouds.
ReplyDelete.....hmmmm ....intersting topic today on "shame". Cheating shameful or not and yet there are those who cheat and got away with it
ReplyDeletegosh! what wise people you are. thanks for this sharing
ReplyDeleteYou have captured another glorious sky - thank you.
ReplyDeleteShame is unpleasant - but I have learnt from it, so will keep it. If I knew where my guilt button was I would disconnect that one though...
Honesty is the road to freedom and power. Thoughts to ponder.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos. Happy weekend!
These pictures are breathtaking! Love them all Cloudia!
