> True, but I feel I would still feel shame
Please keep your shame to yourself. Your other comments in this thread sound like you're trying to invoke your shame upon others for declaring bankruptcy.
If your intention was consistently "I would still feel shame" rather than "You should feel shame", that's fine, but please make that clearer.
- hirundo 8y agoI would still feel shame, to the extent that the bankruptcy was due to my choices. I would judge others on the same basis.
- beagle3 8y agoMay I ask what your cultural background is? "Choice" is a funny concept. There are cultures that made people choose between Seppuku and shame, with Seppuku being the honorable "choice". You seem to be accepting and even advocating a financial version of that "choice". It's not quite as common these days, and for the best IMO.
- hirundo 8y agoIf I go bankrupt because I get hit by a bus on the sidewalk, I wouldn't feel ashamed of that. If I go bankrupt because I got drunk and ran into a bus, I'd feel ashamed of that. If I go bankrupt because it's more convenient than paying my debts, I'd feel ashamed of that. A family member did that. I felt ashamed of him and less of him. I'm less likely to make him a loan. He lost credit with me. I think that's healthy.
