Animals Feel Shame Too


Shame is not limited to our species, shame, in fact, permeates the animal kingdom at large.  What happened to this shameful polar bear?  Is he looking at his i-phone discovering the text messages he sent to Sally Polar Bear at 3:17am?  Did he just awake to find a half eaten poutine beside him?  or, as is most probably in shame situations, he does not even know what to feel shame about, but he feels it.  He knows deep inside the blurry confines of his night are instances of shame.  Was it the dance moves?  Was it the sexual advances to the other female polar bears at the "ice breaker" smoker?  It will be impossible for him to tell.

Go back to your shame cave young polar bear, you will live to fight...and shame....another day.
