Amour-propre.
I uttered something this morning that I think sums up a lot of what I've been experiencing/thinking: it's the shame and guilt that does the worst damage. My changed perspective is that people make choices and indeed have to live with the outcomes of those choices--whatever the outcomes may be, it's the added burden of shame that breaks them, drags them under.

This is scarily appropriate for the week I am having...alongside people I love dearly who are embarking on this journey into epic consequences of self-absorbed decisions. I suppose it is necessary, on some cosmic level, to know just how deep the sea of shame from which we will be rescued really is.
...or maybe that's just me. :)
