Conscience is?

Conscience is?

• A. The ability to know the difference between good and evil, right and wrong
• B. A feeling of happiness
• C. The ability to predict the future
• D. A rule of life

Answer: (A)

Conscience is an inner sense that helps you know the difference between right and wrong. It guides your choices to do what is good, even when no one is watching, and it can bring a sense of peace after you do the right thing or a feeling of guilt if you choose otherwise. It’s not just a feeling of happiness, nor the ability to predict the future, nor a rule someone lays down from outside. Instead, it’s a personal compass shaped by your beliefs, experiences, and, for many people, their faith, that helps you decide how to act in everyday situations.
