Shame is a very important emotion. It is God speaking to us when we have clearly violated the Natural Law He has written on our hearts. Modern psychology seems to want to diminish it.

She realised her £3,000-a-day crack habit was out of control when her three-year-old son saw her being beaten by her partner.

You would think the £3,000-a-day part would be sufficient.
