No shame is shameful, have you heard of dignity

A recent bout of Hollywood responses to a young starlet wrecking her care while being induced with narcotics has shown another fault line that is getting worse and worse in society. Her family and friends are not showing any shame for themselves and are defending all of the actions this starlet made. There is one thing in defending those you love but you don’t help when you defend them on something that is destructive to themselves and those around them.
This is something that shows society is not holding people to their actions. The associates of the starlet are all implying that her actions are ok and it’s not a big deal.
It is a huge deal people, the public for whatever twisted means look to Hollywood stars as if they were Greek gods. The public then comes down with a major case of monkey see monkey do.
As for a certain hotel heiress who thinks she shouldn’t have to serve time, someone really needs to get her something for that verbal diarrhea. Why cant she do prison time for her crimes how is she better than the rest of the public. On top of the fact that news is covered this topic under “breaking news” is something to be disturbed by, but I digress.
Are we now becoming a society that will let the actions of the wealthy, popular and beautiful get away without punishment for their wrong doings?
The media-made aristocrats are not showing much repentance for their actions, which in turn the public itself is not having any shame. Even the phrase “boys will be boys!” is used an excuse for their wrongdoing. So say a group of teenage boys rape a young girl and then try to cover it up. Even though that would never happen in America (insert sarcasm here.) They are then excused from having to be shamed of these acts because they were “just being boys”? Or the fact we let our young girls dress like hood-rats and not show any respect for themselves, but we let it pass because they are learning to become women… Um, the women I know who dress like that work a certain trade job that involve a lot of streets, “sugar” and “designer boyfriends”. Which is everything a mother and father want for their daughter. (Sarcasm again)
Parents don’t want to say anything, because it would hinder on their child’s choices of their own life and their freedoms…. that is why you’re the parent and whole role model thing because you hopefully have more maturity and knowledge of life skills. Not always is the case.
I am all for the concept of children learning by mistake. Some moments in life that have made me grow most as a person were by mistakes but there is some things that have to be ingrained into them so they don’t make worse decisions later down the road.
The thought of “acting without shame lets you truly express yourself” is pure ludicrous. Shame keeps us honest and make us true, if you have no shame what is to hold you from not telling a copious number of lies or engaging in actions that no longer present yourself as a true person but as a pure charlatan.
It would seem that those who do not have shame have a total disregard for those around them, the “non-shameful” view themselves as not having to answer to no one but themselves and that others are below them. They apparently don’t realize that they do have an effect on others and should be held to there actions.
If we would all show a little hubris then we could see the faults that bring shame to ourselves. For though we may feel mighty and untouchable and able to do whatever we may, we must always remember that the Romans the greatest civilization in history thus far…fell.
