If this definition of shame
is correct, it follows that we are ashamed of all such misdeeds as seem to be
disgraceful, either for ourselves or for those whom we care for. Such are all
those that are due to vice, such as throwing away one's shield or taking to
flight, for this is due to cowardice;
or withholding a
deposit, for this is due to injustice.
