I’m not Embarassed

Are you embarrassed?

On Tuesday, I wrote about the importance and urgency of things. But, what about on a personal level?

I’m not embarassed is the title of this piece. But… I did that on purpose. I misspelled embarrassed on purpose. There is not much that embarrasses me, but things that I know I know and that others know I know and then, still mess up? That embarrasses me. I don’t like when I misspell a word or call someone the wrong name or am late for anything, those things embarrass me. But, they may not embarrass others, or maybe not in the same way.

There is varying importance and urgency of tasks yes, but there is also varying importance and urgency of the things that we do and the things that happen to us.

The movie Hitch with Will Smith has been on the mind lately. There is a scene in there where Albert (Kevin James) spills ketchup on himself.

So, that is, of course, an embarrassing moment for him within the movie. But, as it is embarrassing, is it either urgent or important or both or neither? This is the sort of the thing that I would interpret differently than someone else.

To me, if I spill ketchup on myself, it’ll be important to clean, I don’t like stains. Cleaning the ketchup is also urgent to an extent, I want to get rid of the stain as soon as possible so that it does not set in.
