Conscience

Knowing conscience is different from practicing it.
When we cause money-related or punishable accidents, we can cheat our conscience to avoid their expenditure and punishment.
Yesterday, while driving, I was moving sideways to avoid cars facing me on a narrow road.
I scratched the car parked next to the street. I guess it went in a little more when I turned the front of the car to the right to avoid the car. I put a scratch on the left bumper of the parked car.
Ugh! I've come in too much!
It scratches again while pulling it back. My car was crushed as well as scratched.
Um… What should I do with this…
At this time I hear my conscience. Just go? Or call the owner of the car? The idea that someone was watching this fact and the unconscionable conscience to hide it were weighing each other. I was looking around and weighing in my mind the two thoughts of my conscience trying to pretend this didn't happen and telling the owner of this fact and making it up honestly with the fear of someone seeing it.
It is comfortable to be honest with my conscience. However, I feels uncomfortable and anxious to deceive my conscience and hears a beating sound that makes my heart pound.

I decided to follow my conscience. The moment I make up my mind like that, I feel comfortable quickly. I was able to find my usual self.
I decided to make a phone call.
" I called because I scratched the front of your car. Come out."
" Oh, really? I'll be out..."
There was a library next to the road. The owner of a scratched car comes out of the library.
" Oh, I'm sorry. I was trying to avoid an oncoming car, but your car got scratched... "It's not that big, but please take a look and contact me if you're going to take care of insurance."and broke up.
After a while, he called.
" I want to take care of insurance."
" All right. I'll contact the insurance company."
Since then, it has ended after being informed of the insurance company, the degree of surcharge, and repair of its own car.

I went to bed in the evening, but I keep thinking about it even if it doesn't seem like much.
I need to concentrate on the narrow streets. I rebukes myself and tries to sleep.
I woke up in the morning and slept well. It may be because I didn't do anything to blame myself.

I think I did a good job of listening to the sound of conscience more. If I hadn't, I would have been unable to sleep at the sound of a guilty conscience.
Conscience is different from knowing. The practice of conscience requires courage.
It is said that there are two things in a person's mind. A mind chasing conscience and a mind deceiving conscience. This is what makes Mencius's theory of goodness and Sunja's theory of evil , and it is our choice. What sets us free… We feel peace and happiness in a free soul. Therefore, our souls can follow our conscience and move on to the stage of loving others while being free as life.

-양심! 양심이야말로 선악의 확실한 심판자다. 양심은 인간을 신과 닮게 해주며, 양심만이 인간 본성이 지닌 탁월함이다. 양심이 없다면 인간은 동물보다 나은 점이 없으며, 아무 지표도 없이 망상에서 망상으로 떠다니는가련한 특성 외에는 아무것도 없다고 해야 할 것이다.-
