When I was a teen, I attended a boarding school. The food was horrible, and sometimes it was way passed its expiring date. One of those days, I was really hungry and, despite the flavor, I ate a lot. That day I had theatre rehearsals. I sat far away from everyone because inside me, there was a battle between the food and my immune system. I could not stop farting, silent but deadly, and that day they made us get in couples to work on our lines. I was so ashamed that I still think about that day.

Shame is an emotion we all feel or have felt at some point. It can have negative outcomes when it becomes paralyzing, or it can have positive outcomes when it’s transmuted into a funny story.

In the Book “The Value of Shame: Exploring a Health Resource in Cultural Context,” if we go to Chapter 4, we can read a research by Thomas Ryan that argues “The Positive Function of Shame: Moral and Spiritual Perspectives.” Thomas R. explores shame from a positive perspective in four dimensions: Relational, Moral, Educational, and Spiritual. 

In Axiom Regalia: Fate of Hate, Zenton Yobera integrates a positive outlook on Shame as well as the negative impact, mixed with an overcoming-the-monster plot, a Dark Romance and Political Fantasy, and Literary and Poetic devices to deliver an entertaining exploration of the hardships of being a human in a world that labels you a Demon for it.

In Chapter 4, The Positive Function of Shame: Moral and Spiritual Perspectives by Thomas R., concludes that Shame is multifaceted and it’s a universal experience, taking constructive and destructive shapes, and without a sense of Shame one is not truly human, arguing its integrity to being responsive, responsible, and truly loving. On the same note, in the book Axiom Regalia: Fate of Hate, Zenton Yobera argues that Shame is natural and all its ways of expression are human, and the process of reducing its impact is by finding what makes you proud within that shame.

In conclusion, Axiom Regalia: Fate of Hate delivers an emotional journey from which the reader can learn to navigate your Shame, not by becoming shameless, but by becoming proudfull. 

Axiom Regalia: Fate of Hate is bound to become your favorite tool to become more resilient and improve your Mental Health.
