On one hand, being ashamed that your thoughts and feelings don't match what you think they should is a pretty Catholic way to feel... [That is a joke.]
...on the other, it's pretty much bullshit, Vax. That kind of shame, it's useless. What would it do except make you miserable? If you don't feel that way, you can't force yourself to feel that way by feeling guilty about it. Why wouldn't you be happy that you have more time with your friends and your family? You don't have to commit to that level of self-negation.
