Ashamed
Please tell me the difference between meaning.
I am not ashamed to do this.
I am not ashamed of doing this.
I see no 1 is more natural to us than the 2nd one.
And look at this two sentences.
Something made everything clear.
Something cleared everything.
Please explain between the meaning thanks in advance.

I read the first sentence to mean that the person had a revelation and a misconception they had was set straight.
