Conscience

 

Today, 5/27/2024, I wrote down a short video snippet of Dennis Prager talking about the conscience.

 

Here is my paraphrase: “The conscience we are born with needs to be developed similar to our minds. It takes considerations of these four things to make the conscience strong and effective at guided the self in making moral choices.

 

These four factors are: Truth, Courage, God, and Reason.”

 

My response: We are born basically depraved, uncivilized, lawless, violent beasts with some weak, modest aptitude for morally sensing right from wrong, but this weak aptitude must be developed by parents and society, in each growing child, so she is a responsible, ethical adult contributing to society’s well-being.
