We are all custodians of our own conscience. That little voice within us which judges our intentions and a tiny voice in the head that tells us “I did right” or “I did wrong”. Of course, the resulting emotion is either joy or guilt. Rather, SHOULD be if the conscience is more or less clean.
Sometimes, it isn’t though. And you can make out by the same emotions. If
you feel happy in doing the wrong thing, for example! To get back at someone, maybe!
Or even overeating! Anything which you know you should not do.
It is gratifying to give
ourselves a good certificate for doing what is right, even if no one
appreciates it. Ultimately, we are really not looking for kudos from others. We
don’t live by the conscience of others, do we?
