Shame
Normally, a healthy and humanist human has a sense of shame. Humans are naturally equipped with feelings of shame because they are afraid of being wrong, not being accepted, or worrying about breaking the rules. This shame plays a role in protecting human "honor and dignity" so that there is always control in every word and action.
Shame is related to culture and beliefs. The guard was called shy veins. Shame and shame are one in the same. If the veins of shame are still strong, people will stop the actions they are doing and apologize to those who took part in them. When the veins of shame begin to loosen, people will want to cover up their actions but still carry them out in secret. If the veins of shame have been severed, people will reveal their actions and validate them, let alone spread them.
Shame has 3 levels, namely shame at the head level, shame at the body level - stomach and surrounding areas, and shame at the spiritual level - faith. Shame and faith are in one relationship. If the fabric of shame is released, faith will automatically be unraveled.
At number ONE level of shame is shame that arises from thinking, seeing, hearing, feeling and dialogue. People who have shame at this level will avoid seeing and hearing bad things, avoid thinking bad things, and avoid saying bad things that have the potential to embarrass themselves and others. On the contrary, people who lose their sense of shame at this level will continue to think unfavorably, be envious, jealous, and angry. They do not hesitate to insult, scold, rebuke, make dirty words, demean other people, label other people with animals, filth, and low professions. Blasphemy and humiliation are also examples of this level of shamelessness.
SECOND level shame is shame related to bodily actions, hands, feet, stomach, and "genital organs". If the veins of shame at this level are open, then people will eat and drink anything (without knowing whether it is halal or haram), do anything (even opening the "genital" area) so that there is no longer any covering of the body. Actions at this level are risky because they give rise to addiction, especially if they are supported by belief, defense and self-justification. "It is more noble like this than hypocrisy" is an example of defense due to the opening of level 2 shame veins.
And in THIRD level of shame is the final vein of shame - the level of spirit and faith. This vein of shame takes the form of intrinsic, intrapersonal-existential shame, and arises when a person has a dialogue with himself. In a more typical form, this level of shame is indicated by "shame" towards Allah, God, or the sacred substance of the beliefs held. The common thread is that religion directs "meeting after death". This vein of shame is the last line of defense. If this vein of shame is open, then there is nothing that can prevent someone from doing something bad. Lightly and without realizing it, people will have the heart to carry out any act without control, especially heinous acts that cannot be reached by the conscience of a healthy person. People with this destruction of the veins of shame do not listen to advice, do not believe in the day of judgment, and use the law of the jungle. Regarding character, of course it is not healthy.
So be careful. Take the time, even if it's just for a moment, to check the valves of your own veins. Fraudsters and criminals who claim to be believers, who combine good and bad deeds to achieve bad goals, display shame under the pretext of goodness, are environmental examples of shameless actions. No body perfect, but a human without shame is worse than a clothed animal.
