I was thinking about the first time I heard the Elements group read through The Pillars of the Community by Ibsen, and how Pride is singularly human ....Animals live in the moment and while they can be embarrassed I believe it is more because they don't know what is expected of them rather than they are proud of who they are and are brought down by something.
One of the characters by the name Karsten Bernick goes through all sorts of deceit and manipulation of facts to protect his pride in his reputation. As I listened to this character go through all of his dishonest ways I was very uncomfortable. Sometimes honest transparency is like that.
Uncomfortable.
