God has given each one of us a conscience. And having a clean conscience can make our life much better.
But, how does it work? Well, conscience is the sense of right or wrong that we have inside us. When it works well, it helps us examine the person we really are. It can help us to be honest with our deepest thoughts and feelings. It can guide us toward good and away from bad. For example, even we just make a small mistake, we feel guilty. It means it helps us to tell the truth. It can also make us happy when we make a wise decision or guilty after we make a bad one.
We can compare our conscience to a traffic light. When it's wrong, a red signal light appears. It means you need to STOP ✋. While if you make a good one, green traffic light shown. It means GO! 😉
Each one of us can choose whether or not we will listen to our conscience.
But, do you ever wonder if conscience can sometimes be wrong? Yes. It can be. For example, it could be damaged by our own imperfect thoughts and feelings and could guide us in the wrong directions. At first, maybe we feel guilty. But as time pass by, and we didn't mind that feeling, it can lead us to sin. Some people also think that listening to their conscience simply means following their feelings. They think that they can do whatever they want as long as they feel good about it. But our feelings are imperfect, and they can mislead us. So we can think that something is right even though it is wrong.
So it's very IMPORTANT to maintain and train our clean conscience. It can lead us to happiness. And also, it can help us to be honest.
Remember that "a good conscience is a soft pillow." It means having a good conscience can help you sleep well or live peacefully with no worries. 😉
People think that they can get away with a bad conscience... No, it will always haunt them, whether they believe it or not, whether they want it or not, and, whether they know it or not.. Karma is real. :) good and bad karma exists.. :)
