who we are



the things we accept,
those we defend without shame,
reveal who we are.

  • AC
    I am ashamed of everything I defend
  • A philosopher
    will always defend knowledge
    —things of great import.
  • Any well-thought thought
    will make any thinker proud
    —no such thing as shame.
  • excellent viewpoint;
    sometimes what we defend is
    about saving face.
  • another metric:
    things we defend because we
    ARE ashamed of them
  • I actually thought of this one after seeing Taxi to the Dark Side, a documentary about detainee treatment in the "war on terror," but it could be about almost anything, even things we shouldn't be ashamed of (but are anyway).
  • Hmmmm. I wonder what that says about me?
