Glyph commonly believed to be「heart」is a scorpion's tail with drops of venom flying, or a penis and drops of jism schmutz or gonorrheal gleet or the pox as involuntary discharges, and as such, yourself and/or others「hearing that you've got a dose of the clap」ought to make you a bit SHY at least…but note that SHAME was attached to those feelings only after folks got a case of religion along with the clap (not all bad if it prevented the spread of disease, mind you).
「Listening to a mind, spirit, intention like that of an appendage spewing venom」may be referring to someone who has acted upon some evil dream, idea, thought or desire and now is ASHAMED of doing so (yet once again, this scenario unlikely).
「Soldier listening in battle, with a mind, heart, intent to adjust his position, change balance from one side to the other」acting SHAMEFULLY, DISGRACEFULLY, or DISHONORABLY after hearing a rumor or because his lord is obviously losing.「Listen, ear」resembles the shape of a vertical flag attached to a pole used in China and Japan to identify soldiers who must listen to commands or die, with flags marking who belonged to one side or the other of a battle. With「mind, feelings, spirit」means the DISHONOR, DISGRACE of a「soldier's feelings」deep in his mind of not wanting to die just yet, the true feeling in the minds of many foot soldiers in any battle prior to an attack, of not wanting to be hacked up into chunks or taken prisoner, tortured, anally abused, or forced to become some sort of slave.
Refers to SHYNESS and「not wanting your feelings to be heard」(i.e., talked about) by others.「Soldier with his weaponry compartment and many drops」as「wet or wetted weapons magazine or storage area」a SHAME for a soldier, such as being so afraid that one involuntarily defecates or urinates, shits diarrhea in one's loincloth, or both. The reason for a feeling of「not wanting anyone else to hear」being the desire to hide something SHAMEFUL, DISGRACEFUL, or DISHONORABLE, such as fear prior to or during a battle, wetting one's weaponry and weapons storage area:「This process is so intense that soldiers very often suffer stress diarrhea due to redirecting of energies from nonessential parasympathetic processes, and it is not at all uncommon to lose control of urination and defecation as the body literally 'blows its ballast' and redirects all available energy in an attempt to provide the resources required to ensure survival. This is reflected in World War II surveys in which a quarter of combat veterans admitted that they urinated in their pants in combat, and a quarter admitted that they defecated in their pants in combat.」

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment
(see 籒 for that)
and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language.
If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system.
Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is!
Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up.
No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else.
This site describes glyph meanings, not people.
These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect.
The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language?
(More...)
Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?
By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs,
you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary.
This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
