There could hundreds if not thousands of untold stories concerning glory or shame.
It is understandable that people don't like to talk about "shame" especially if it concerns themselves. This is taboo. This is sacred to be confined to the dark side of one's life history. Nobody has the right to know. Those involved do not even want to think about it just in case people can read their thoughts.
There is no necessity to think about it, what more to talk and tell people about it. It is best left buried in the past.
But there are people whose business is to know and let the whole world know. These people are everywhere. The media people, the manipulators, the intimidaters, the gossipers, and so on. Stories like these sell.
True stories that can warm the heart
I remember reading a long time ago many stories of heroic deeds during the two world wars that were untold before. A few of them narrated stories of soldiers who risked loss of limbs and even lives by dragging bombs away from fellow soldiers. The bombs usually blew off after the respective heroic soldier had left the bombs some distance away. These people who were willing to sacrifice their own lives for others were given medals of valor.
Reading such heart warming stories make time stand still. You feel you are in a different world then.
Live a life to the full
Don't you want to have a life that is full of meaning? Don't you wish that you can help change the world for the better?
Life is not meant to be lived only for oneself. This is not a very productive way to spend your whole life. Life is to be used for the good of others, too. If you do that, life is worth living. You have something to live for.
Live a life that will be told years hence that reveals the goodness in people.
