Personally I could wish no such happiness. Such are the words of the great Brahmin.

More ashamed I should be to be thus an automaton who thinks of nothing and be contented. And what should I ,a simple dog, not be content with while I have yet a bone to chew and a barrel to stave off the rain? I will yet call myself a philosopher while the whole world thinks me miserable. I know no misery in contentment, neither my misery nor contentment that of another, and go on questioning, cynic that I am. Keep him out of my sunshine, lest he be bitten.[from the teachings of Diogenes and Juvenal]

Shame should be left behind in your last dirty diaper. Shame is for people who have not grown past the mentality of a three year old, but, unfortunately, some people are abused and abandoned to remain uneducatedly incompetent.....automaton? What are you talking about. We are engaged in the war and struggle against evil and corrupt self righteous forces that yet think inflicting pain is enough in its self as an action of their philosophy to raise the spirit to positive social consciousness.

The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative. Evil begets evil and evil only knows the Judgment.

Old automatons have a certain amount of value.
