  1. You certainly have ruined your relationship with people you've betrayed. But you'd have a conscience really to care or recognize that you've ruined yourself. People find a way to remove the unease about that.

    Consciousness is a level of thinking that not everyone has.

    1. Thanks Tim. Yes, you're right. This is about conscience and not everyone will use it. But we all have one.

      Today the world tells us a different story about the conscience. We have learned that we can do what we want and it won't matter.

      When anyone takes their conscience out of the equation, they don't stop long enough to think about it. But just because we don't think about it, doesn't mean it doesn't matter.

      We have to want to care about people and take responsibility.
