    We self censor and that will not stop anytime soon.

    We are a shame based society. It controls us and hold us back. It will continue to do so until we reach a point where it cannot be hidden.

    The need for downvotes on these types of platform is an simple example of this.

    People using shame to silence the inconveniences of the world and silence other. It is an insidious beast.

    The damage caused is immeasurable. It is a Pandora’s box and we cannot close it, only toss it aside and accept ourselves and others exactly as they are.

    Our rising suicide rates indicates we are losing this battle.
