WRONG. Your ears you keep and I’ll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, “Dear God! What is that thing,” will echo in your perfect ears. That is what to the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever. — The Princess Bride

Shame is a powerful weapon.  Shame at the range will correct your safety habits in moments.  Shame will force an adult to work three jobs to feed their child rather than take welfare.  Shame will keep a bad actor from re-offending.  Shame will motivate you to improve, because the person you need approval from the most is yourself.
