Shame - I like to make a word list of words to see if I can see deeper into a word.
She am me he sham same ham hem. Shame a sham. Something that is used to make us conform, to herd me along. Forget about it-I am going my own way. Besides if you don't step out of the herd your view never changes unless you are in the front of the pack. And as long as you follow you are going to step in a lot of poop.

I've always heard that the difference between guilt and shame is that with guilt I actually have done something that requires amends or restitution. But with shame, it is more of an "I'm not worthy" feeling that we accept about ourselves without seeing reality clearly. "Sham" seems to describe it perfectly.
