... and shame is a poor counterfeit of humility. Shame is the fruit of humiliation that works against the truth. p.52
Bill Johnson
The appropriate emotion is shame — shame at our own dependency, in this case, on the underpaid labor of others. When someone works for less pay than she can live on — when, for example, she goes hungry so that you can eat more cheaply and conveniently — then she has made a great sacrifice for you, she has made you a gift of some part of her abilities, her health, and her life. The "working poor," as they are approvingly termed, are in fact the major philanthropists of our society. They neglect their own children so that the children of others will be cared for; they live in substandard housing so that other homes will be shiny and perfect; they endure privation so that inflation will be low and stock prices high. To be a member of the working poor is to be an anonymous donor, a nameless benefactor, to everyone else.
Barbara Ehrenreich
Shame on me, shame on you,
Shame on them, shame on us,
Shame on me, shame on you,
Shame on them, shame on us,
So what the fuss.Stevie Wonder
I am actually walking towards the biscuit, I didn't realise I was, but now I do, oh oh oh I am actually eating the biscuit...oh no, oh the shame, oh I don't know what's better, THE BISCUIT OR THE SHAME..oh oh the shame.
Dylan Moran
You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains,
Carried the cross
Of my shame.
Of my shame.
You know I believed it.Larry Mullen
One of the misfortunes of our time is that in getting rid of false shame we have killed off so much real shame as well.
