Summary
This quote suggests that while the law can establish rules and regulations to prevent certain behavior, shame has the power to limit or control actions that are not necessarily illegal. Shame operates on a social and moral level, imposing a sense of guilt or embarrassment for actions perceived as morally wrong or socially unacceptable, even if they are not explicitly forbidden by law. It implies that sometimes shame can be a stronger deterrent than legal consequences in shaping human behavior.
