The Groupon Guide to: Shame
Like all emotions, shame sneaks into the pit of your stomach when you least expect it. Sometimes, however, biological or environmental triggers may cause you to feel shame even when you've got nothing to be ashamed of. Here's a guide to feeling shame appropriately:
The Situation: You've been caught cheating on an exam.
Shameworthy?: No, unless the exam proctor explicitly forbade cheating by tattooing "No Cheating" on your forearm before the exam, or if the test questions were arranged to form an acrostic that spelled "DON'T CHEAT." If not, then cheating is not just allowed, it's encouraged, so that the test resembles real life.
The Situation: You're fired from work for stealing.
Shameworthy?: Absolutely not! Only by stealing can you help your company update its shrinkage and disciplinary policies. March into your boss's office and demand an apology, a raise, and 15 minutes of unsupervised personal time in the CEO's private zoo.
The Situation: After eating from the Tree of Knowledge, you realize you're naked.
Shameworthy?: Heck no. The handful of states that ban public nudity do so only because the 1970 census declared those particular residents too ugly to be naked. Occasionally, public nudity is required, as on Election Day, when voters must enter voting booths nude to prove they're carrying only one ballot.
