- CONSCIENCE
When religion fails to live up to acceptable standard upon which morality can be based[ or It is silent on some issues]. Man most times base the rightness or wrongness of a deed on conscience.
Some moralists even refer to conscience as "God's voice" in man heart. Obeying ones conscience could sometimes be a sound ethical advice but the falling out is that conscience is the sum total of one experiences through one life time, that is one level of exposure determines what conscience says is right or wrong. Most times what one takes to be wrong might turns to to be right when one grows older taking conscience as the bedrock of morality. Conscience varies with civilisation, education, race, religion, traditions, customs etc. Many a times people commit atrocities believing they are doing the greater good according to their inner voices therefore conscience cannot be taken as an absolute determinant of rightness or wrongness of a deed.![images (2).jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmbiDUvTXUYPpeGsmH4MkifCnUzgT6tGATr1667Zq4A5td/images%20(2).jpeg)
Thus understanding conscience, we shall not take it as a basis of morality, but as our best available individual light. We shall judge our conscience, educate it, evolve it by mental effort, by careful observation. As we learn more, our conscience will develop; as we act up to the highest we can see, our vision will become ever clearer, and our ear more sensitive.
