Christianity is heavy on the guilt. If you’re self-flagellating, that’s a sign it’s guilt, not shame.

East Asian cultures are more about the shame. And try not to go anywhere where the social order is based on Fear.

I'm East Asian. Guilt and shame here are the same thing -- the distinction between moral vs non-moral is blurry at best. The only difference is who you're disappointing and what the perceived consequence is.
