What
is the most embarrassing moment of your life?
I often wonder about this … I sit here, asking the
question repeatedly and ponder the fact the experience of embarrassment is
something I really do not recall much, if any. I ask myself, ‘Is there the type
of person who does not experience embarrassment? Am I that kind of person?’
‘Embarrassment’ can be defined as ‘to cause confusion and
shame to; make uncomfortable self-conscious; disconcerted…’
Generally, I do not think I readily accept
‘embarrassment’ and have some kind of way of thinking that changes over to
direct the circumstances that renders the situation other than confused or
shameful … I try to keep things comfortable without being overly
self-conscious… I somewhat think of
‘embarrassment’ as a backward scenario, while I like to be forward looking … I
consider ‘Okay what is the better was to view this?’ I like to turn potential negatives into a
pluses by not dwelling on ‘embarrassment’ and getting after what is productive,
good about the situation…
Having said as much, I have noticed, when I approach
things this way, how many people try to embarrass others. I think it’s a control tactic for many and
when they cannot achieve as much with me, they back off, or back away …
Sometimes I think my martial arts training and certain eastern philosophy
taught within that context has something to do with my approach… There is a lot to think about, but I’m going
to leave things as they are for now.
