think we all have a little voice inside us that will guide us. It may be God, I don't know. But I think that if we shut out all the noise and clutter from our lives and listen to that voice, it will tell us the right thing to do.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Your conscience could be an excellent guide but you have to be careful

not to rely too heavily on your conscience for everything.

I believe we all have the ability to discern up to a certain measure.

In some situations, time will give small evidence of information that would guide us correctly. We should not pull the trigger being over zealous with our conscience. We can still slip and fall after being successful in figuring things out most of the time. WATCH OUT!

Answer 10

Not at all.  The term conscience would more or less mean acting consciously.  Cons which means suggest point against an issue, while the other word is science.  Acting with conscience is following what one perceive the embodiment of "right", though it doesn't mean it is the absolute right.  Because the conscience side of the mind rely on the innate good and the understanding of that goodness.  If a person don't know that something is bad then the embodiment of what is perceived right is false.

Following you conscience should require analysis and test, hence it is science.  Following sheer gut feel is good but it could be better.  Be mindful and observant and you would increase you knowledge of what is morally correct and true, then one would develop Maturity.  Neglecting sense of maturity or conscientious choices deliberately brings about foolishness or folly.

Answer 11

If you were raised right, then I think your conscience is your best roadmap.

And likewise, if you were raised wrong, you're better off listening to other people.
