We all have a little voice in our head telling us what is right and wrong. The voice is often independent of the values we grew up with. It doesn’t change, although if we listen it is clearer, and if we ignore it, it might go away. In all cultures and society, certain things are always seen as right or wrong. There has always been good vs evil.

In my church we call refer to this as part of the light of Christ. With our upbringing and past experience, sometimes our conscience is different for each of us. I think if heeded, it will over time take us to about the same place, although the path might be widely different for everyone.

I think we can’t be too good, and it is better to be far on the right side than to try to see what the edge is. But even if I try my best, I end up doing things that eat at my conscience. I know when my path is less than perfect: everyone knows an abundance of their own weakness. I also know when I do things well, and I know my strengths.

Life is more black and white than I think we often make it out to be. Complications usually only come when we are trying to justify less than good behavior.
