Shame is so commonplace. In fact, some of us are ashamed to take up space.The author seeks to look at why we feel shame, and what the definition actually could be.The topic is approached by someone without a Ph.D. or MD degree.Instead, the author has some other rather unusual experience sets (credentials) to apply to this topic: particularly, the application of a totally revamped vocabulary, which accommodates his view that we human beings are subject to the same la...
