I would like to answer

I would like to answer maggie's, question as to why at least I feel as though it is better to have a concious that not to have one. I believe that everything that one does is governed by ones concious including what is right and what is wrong. Without a concious i feel as though i would be more inclined to do things that were mean or unkind. Perhaps this is silly and the concept of concious was actually created to make people believe that one existed to prevent wrong doing. But i have been raised to believe that a jimminy cricket does exist inside everyone. Often times i do not do the right thing because i know others will percieve it to be so, i doo it because i feel that if i do not do the right thing my own personal jimminy cricket is going to get worked up and then guilt sets in. Knowing you have a concious is what in one way or other makes us human, unable to treat others badly.... the ability to tell the truth... I do not know if this makes any sense but this is at least what i believe.
