Shaming as punishment, may not be as damaging as we first thought...

We, in the strange world of "Western Culture," may hate shame as an arcane, retrogressive means of discipline, but maybe, just maybe, there is more to it than that...

Life as one long set of tiring negotiations with no fixed "rules" and sense of place is possibly a more foreboding prospect than a rigid kind of conformism.

Anecdotally, I find it can be the most literate people who, whilst at the same time as claiming to be "enlightened" and "free," are insufferably neurotic and ironically bound.
