When does one feel ashamed?
Or rather why does one feel ashamed?
If one lives outside of social norms
Can one be ashamed of anything?
Who defines what’s shameful?
When one feels ashamed of one’s actions
Does this feeling come from within?
If yes, is it a basic feeling in us?
How would a society look like
If no one’s ashamed of anything?
Nevertheless one thing we all must be
Ashamed of is our incessant
Search for meaning in this absurd universe
PS : Title inspired by the truly inspiring writing of Annie Ernaux’s La Honte (Shame)
