I know many people who detest swearing. I’m not one of them. I don’t swear to intentionally offend, upset or embarrass someone. But, I believe there are far uglier, more offensive and degrading words than the ones in my pirate vocabulary.
One of the nastiest words - in my opinion - isn’t even a four letter word. It has five letters.
SHAME.
I carried that word and everything that goes with it, like a rucksack filled with rocks, for the majority of my life. That load was HEAVY!
The good news is that I don’t carry it anymore. When I realised (and believed) that all of that stuff happened TO me…not BECAUSE of me…I could finally take off the rucksack of shame. My rejoicing doesn’t end there. I have gone one giant leap further. I decided to flip it! I now say, out loud and with conviction,
“SHAME ON YOU!”
Go on! Say it! Place the blame and shame where it rightfully belongs. They aren’t yours to carry.
