Yeah, this is absolutely right! That’s the way it is, they could never feel ashamed and regret what they inflicted to us. So we better feel proud of ourselves and keep our heads high, looking for respect and never let ourselves down. On the contrary, the more they try to humble ourselves, the greater our pride to preserve dignity and despise the aggressor. There is no greater contempt than not make any appreciation of those who hurt us.
