I am pretty sure they are shamed by your actions.

I am pretty sure that you are wrong. What do they have to be shamed about?

There's plenty to be ashamed of, but that doesn't mean that a parent's love doesn't trump that.

If if I ever had a kid who killed someone, I don't think I could bring myself to be ashamed of him, though I'd grieve his poor decision-making.

Now that you mention it, I wonder if a dictator's parents could ever feel shame for his actions? Say a Saddam Hussein or a Paul Pot.

Lack of self control perhaps.

I had a strong urge once to strangle my boss.

Maybe Im a closet killer, I dont know... luckily I stayed in the closet though and didn't embrace my "killer instict"

Another time I had an opportunity to cheat on my wife and run off with this beautiful young stewardess. I didn't.

Maybe Im a closet adulterer - I was tempted, I had this urge. I'm sure society would understand...Many animals in the animal kingdom have more than one mate.

I could have thought of a thousand reasons to justify my actions if I chose and like I said, society would have supported me. Surely they wouldn't be hateful and fail to understand the attraction and love I could have had for this woman.

In the end, I didn't do it. I didn't act on my impulses, because Im not an animal Im a human.

I didn't do it because it was wrong.
