Let’s start here: I am acutely aware of how many times a day I screw up and make mistakes and say and/or do things I shouldn’t or fail to say and/or do things I should and I’m also aware that one of my daily screw-ups might be not being aware I just screwed up because in my experience most assholes are unaware they’re assholes which is one of the things that makes them assholes.
Regarding Shatner ... I used to be absolutely stunned that he had entire albums of God-awful "interpretations" of popular songs (Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB3uVARNhmM) until my wife read his biography. As Shatner explains it, he grew up terribly poor. As a result, for his entire career (and I think to the present day?) - if someone offered him a paying gig, he took it. It was a paycheck. Despite reaching financial security (Net worth is around 100 million) ... he took anything that came down the pike. At least, that is how Shatner explains his "singing" career.
Preach it, Lee!

People seem to be either too willing (eager) to share their every opinion or happy to remain silent.
That time I tried to dye my hair red and a coworker commented gleefully, “Oh! Is that for Halloween?”
