Context
“thus a man is more ashamed of cowardice than of daring, of theft than of robbery, on account of a semblance of power. The same applies to other sins. _______________________
THIRD ARTICLE [II-II, Q. 144, Art. 3]
Whether Man Is More Shamefaced of Those Who Are More Closely Connected with Him?
Objection 1: It would seem that man is not more shamefaced of those who are more closely connected with him. For it is stated in Rhet. ii, 6 that "men are more shamefaced of those from whom they desire approbation."”
