From Wikipedia : >Adam is told that he can eat freely of all the trees in the garden, except for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Subsequently, Eve is created from one of Adam's ribs to be his companion. They are innocent and unembarrassed about their nakedness. >However, a serpent convinces Eve to eat fruit from the forbidden tree, and she gives some of the fruit to Adam. These acts not only give them additional knowledge, but also give them the ability to conjure *negative and destructive concepts such as shame and evil.* God later curses the serpent and the ground. Doesn't that mean God thinks shame is a negative, destructive evil? If so, I agree with God. I believe shame comes from Satan. If you never do evil, you never have to feel shame. That means you can feel free and happy, and joyful, ike we did in The Garden.
