Shameless

The Good, the Bad.... and the Ugly
Why shameless can be good, and not so good.

'Shameless'. What does it mean to be shameless? It means that you're embarassing, that you lack pride, and you don't care about what other people may think. So therefore, 'fearless' and innocent ignorance may also fall into the same category. No?

Shameless can be good, for the active do'ers who wants to get shit started. For those people who jump into things and figure out later. If you're shameless, you're probably a bit more interesting than the usual boring crowd. You may be more shocking, more humble, more funny than other people. Breaking the social protocol, too is shameless. But that can also be good sometimes. For example, inviting yourself over to an exclusive party, can be shameful, but what they hey, no parties should be exclusive unless if it's gendered. I think the underlying intention is the important part. As long as you can explain yourself afterwards, it's all ok.

Here are example of good shamelessness.

-When my friend shamelessly invited herself over to a fishing event, and had hooked up with the boy that she loves.
-When my friends and I shamelessly took over a classroom in our school, just for the three of us, just because we needed to lounge and chit chat.

Shameless is bad, because it shows a disregard of the public view, and can be immature. Shameless is bad, because it means that you were brought up with bad parenting. Any act that would leave your friends to talk behind your back afterwards... is pretty much bad.

Here are examples of bad shamelessness.
-Drinking a 40 on the streets of New York City with a friend who doesn't do any kind of drinking.
-Chasing after a boy who's clearly not interested in you. (that's more pathetic than shameless)
-Eating out of a trashcan.
-Puking in the middle of Chinatown, in the middle of walking across a crosswalk.

Shameless is ugly... because it is.
-Walking around without having had a shower in three days... There's really no excuse, no excuse at all that can let this happen.
