What is conscience?

I watched a few episodes of Scrubs today and that got me thinking… is it JD’s conscience that’s narrating?

Wouldn’t it be cool if we could hear out aloud what our conscience was saying? We’d realise so much! In a passing half an hour we’d not only know what’s right or wrong but also learn valuable life’s lessons.

Bullshit!

Conscience is a word given to some of the “right” things we do without having a reason for it. If it were wrong then we went against our conscience. “The tiny voice inside your head is conscience.” Well right now its yelling “You’ve gone crazy! You’re speaking to yourself, Man!!”

What is the difference between “conscience” and plain outright “crazy”!!!???

If there were something called conscience, why would anyone make any mistakes? Where would the phrase, learn from your mistakes, originate from?

Conscience doesn’t tell you what’s right or wrong. If you hear a tiny voice in your head.. well… check it out with your nearest psychiatrist. Decisions that we take in life are more often the result of our learnings, that we get from individuals or through experiences. They’re a judgement call. What makes them “right ’ or ‘”wrong” is the way others react or respond to it, or sometimes they way you justify them.

If I had a conscience to listen to, I wouldn’t be half as proud of what I am today. I am what I am cause of my mistakes. I’ve done more wrongs than rights in my life, but I’m darn proud of them. I may not be the best at what I do, but I do it out of reason and choice. I choose to be different.

Scrubs is a TV show. Its entertaining and I love it.
