SHAME IS “GOOD” I am speaking of ethics, not false shame (shame caused by an abusive partner, for example). We are living in a society which knows no shame. That’s too bad. We should become red-faced about some things. When we tell a lie and are caught, we should feel shame. But that’s not quite enough! We should realize …
