Theory on Emotions: Shame and Guilt

        Envy is often accompanied by feelings of depression and shame. [1] Lewis (1993) appropriately gathers them under the heading of the self-conscious emotions. Izard (1991) characterizes shame as starting with a sudden intense awareness of self which thoroughly dominated consciousness.             Standards, rules and goals are established, the success or failure of one’s action with respect to these standards, rules and goals is evaluated, and attributions are made about the self.

For me, I know what happened to the people at the other side of the world, other states and other places. It doesn’t matter who write it but t
