kikisam discovered 22 months ago- interesting outlook on where shame and guilt is coming from and what it does

Shame, Blame and Manipulation This is Part 6 of a 7 part series entitled "Words Can Harm. Words Can Heal."
[...From the Article...]
"No. You shouldn't be ashamed of yourself."
We're founded upon shame. From the Bible to the Puritans to the year 2006 where people still quibble over sexual orientation and interracial relationships to unwed mothers, rape victims, and child pedophilia. From anti-abortion activists to fundamental religions, shame is around us, ever ready to pounce and consume. This tells me that it's not working. Shame does not work. One more time...
Shame does not work!
[...]
Assigning blame is a silly man's folly...like looking for answers as to why it's raining rather than for the umbrella. Sure there may or may not be an immediate answer especially when the weatherman said no rain and less than an hour ago Doppler radar indicated no clouds, but considering you wanted to be somewhere else, which would be the wise move? Standing where you are, not moving and frantically trying to peddle, probe, and push as to why it's raining, or go looking for the umbrella?
