A Conundrum ! ~ by Hénock Gugsa


A Conundrum ! 
~ by Hénock Gugsa ~

I discussed this topic with a couple of friends on Facebook ...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T O ===>  His shameful acts are loudly condemned but his behavior continues unchanged. He is shameless.

 
Hénock Gugsa ===> You turn on a switch, you're shameful ... you turn it off, you're shameless. I get it because I'm associating them with binaries. That's what computers do to you ! 😉

T O ===> Feeling "shame" requires acceptance of a moral / ethical standard. There can be disagreement.

F C ===> Exactement [sic], shameless means that the person doesn't care acting wrongly or being judged.
While being shameful refers to a person feeling bad after acting wrongly.
This being said,  ...
1- Feeling shameful brings nothing good to anyone.  It only serves making some immature people feeling better, after another one feels humiliated.
2- Being shameless is not necessarily bad.  As an example, one doesn't have to feel bad just because another person decides to be offended by what the first person said.


Hénock Gugsa ===> So would you say that "Schadenfreude" is both shameful and shameless ... hence cancelling them out and creating a new creature, a new mysterious King Kong ?! 😁

F C ===> Hénock Gugsa, LOL, you're funny, I like that.
This being said, Schadenfreude refers to pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune. Which is not the same thing as not giving a shit about drama queen's bullshit.


Hénock Gugsa ===>  FC ... , Ça ne me dérange pas ! Tout va bien.🙂

F C ===> Hénock Gugsa, exactement, y'a juste nos perceptions qui peuvent nous affecter. Et elles sont fausses pour la plupart.
