"I generally feel ‘ashamed’ that I am ‘part of humanity’ who is ‘searching for something meaningful.’ (Not ashamed of humanity like I want to go on a school-shooting spree—more like I have been trained to think that my life is more inherently meaningful than every one else’s.) Or like maybe I am ‘ashamed’ that I bought the Matchbox 20/Third Eye Blind albums when I was a kid. And maybe I am ‘ashamed’ of myself for having that in common with all of the other kids who were growing up at the time. And I might be ‘ashamed’ that I found that meaningful."
