The moral compass evolves with time. Freedom should mean that we are able to always live authentically without restrictions on where we can go or how we express ourselves. But in our human nature there are situations that may result in shame. Some of those situations are deserving of shame because they are detrimental to the health of the nation.
It is true that there are situations that were viewed as shameful in the past that are no longer viewed with the same scorn. The desire to cover shame or hide one’s indiscretions is no longer as crucial as it used to be on some matters. Is the internet largely responsible for this? And most importantly, is social media? Or is it that we are in an age where people are becoming more enlightened, more liberated, realizing that many of the restrictions that we placed on ourselves hindered our evolution?
