🔖Conscience as a Source of Ethical Guidance

Definition:

Conscience is the inner sense of right and wrong that guides a person's thoughts and actions. It is an internal moral compass that influences decisions and behavior based on personal and societal values.

🔺Relevant Quotes:

-"The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience." - Mahatma Gandhi
-"Conscience is the inner voice that warns us that someone may be looking." - H. L. Mencken
-"There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience." - French Proverb

➕Keywords
-Ethical decision-making,
-Moral compass,
-Inner sense of right and wrong,
-Personal integrity,
-Internal moral compass,

➕Crisis of Conscience
A crisis of conscience refers to a situation where an individual experiences severe internal conflict due to a clash between their moral beliefs and their actions or circumstances. This psychological and ethical dilemma often leads to significant distress and can prompt profound self-reflection and life changes.

Examples:
-Historical Example: Mahatma Gandhi’s commitment to non-violence and truth (Satyagraha) was guided by his strong moral conscience, which he referred to as his "inner voice."
-Contemporary Example: Whistleblowers like Edward Snowden, who exposed unethical practices by the government, acted based on their conscience, despite facing significant personal risks.

❓Mains Questions:

-"A clear conscience is the sure sign of a bad memory." Critically analyze this statement with suitable examples.

What question suggest
(The statement "A clear conscience is the sure sign of a bad memory" means that if someone feels no guilt about their actions, it might be because they have forgotten the wrong things they have done. It suggests that everyone makes mistakes or does bad things sometimes, and only people who don't remember these actions can have a completely clear conscience.)
