“You cannot shame yourself into change. You can only love yourself into evolution.”

True
this is why we have several generations of young people who cant tolerate adversity.
shame is good actually.
Brené Brown talks about the difference between shame and guilt. Maybe we’re talking about two different words?
“I believe that if we want meaningful, lasting change we need to get clear on the differences between shame and guilt and call for an end to shame as tool for change. That also means moving away from labeling.”
mmmm 🤔
if you want to define "shame" as pathological
well ok
but thats not the general social usage.
mostly the current unpopularity of "shame" is only because modern society believes in absolute relativism and thinks nobody should ever feel bad about anything or be held accountable to anything ever.
in other words, 99% of the time feeling shame isn't the problem.
I think we’re saying the same thing but with different definitions. The issue is using shame to make someone feel guilt vs feeling guilt for doing something against one’s morals, beliefs, code, etc.
Society’s issue is more a loss of morality and values.
Wow, thank you for sharing this 💜
Beautiful! I love it!

if you are not capable of great personal shame and recognition of your own stupidity,
sadhana is impossible.
