Humiliation

HUMILIATION

Yes, they say you choose being angry or not, and you can choose who can embarass you, and who can demean or humilitate you. It's true, but it's also an ideal. It's the reaction you can choose, with age, and with practice. The emotions are what they are. Part of living in a society is having a conscience, and along with this comes "shame". It's also part of learning ... at first you can't do it, then you start learning and get it right some of the time. For some people, making a mistake, or doing it wrong, or having egg on your face is very shaming, and for others not so much, for we all have our moments.

I heard one story today about a boy who humiliated by a teacher in front of his middle school class, and then observed another situation where a middle-aged employee was humiliated in front of her co-workers.

I don't like it. For them -- for you -- for all of us --


"The horror of that moment," the King went on,
"I shall never, never forget!"
"You will, though," the Queen said,
"if you don't make a memorandum of it."
~ Lewis Carroll
