I remember being in Bible class in high school and the teacher\/pastor said something along the lines of ” if your conscious stops nagging you, you know you are lost. God has given up on you.”<\/p>\n
That has stayed with me. Of course I never stopped to really question the validity of it. It actually scares me a little of how much was spoon feed to me and I just ate it. I never even thought to question it.<\/p>\n
My conscious… it can be an annoying thing. The need to do the right thing can be heavy. <\/p>\n
When I asked my brother (the minister) about what the bible teacher said, his reply was “What do you think? Is that anywhere in the bible?”<\/p>\n
Some people don’t have consciouses. How do you live like that? I wonder if my dad had a conscious? He never ever said sorry… For anything.<\/p>\n
I feel guilty when I am angry at him for feeling hateful to him. Guilty. How come I feel that guilt? How come he doesn’t?
Or can you feel guilty of something and yet just live with it?<\/p>\n
I worry about this gene in my children. When I see meanness… true meanness and no remorse… I worry. I worry a lot. OK, it might seem a little weird for me to worry if my child (ren) have sociopathic tendencies… but when the gene is in the family history is it really so crazy to worry?<\/p>\n
It says that it is a disorder that one can not change … you can control it to some degree with meds but… <\/p>\n
There were many traits that my dad had that were great. I actually am a lot like him. Characteristics.. good and bad come from him. Yet there are so many that I wish were not in his genetic pool.<\/p>\n
Listening to your conscious is something that I need to teach my kids. Listen to that voice in your head. It usual doesn’t lead you astray.<\/p>\n
Yet what if they don’t have that voice in their head???<\/p>\n
I am writing this because it keeps coming up… usually once I write it, I feel better. <\/p>\n
Maybe this is a great way to get wisdom… my question is how do I know if my kids all have a conscious?
Maybe if I didn’t have a dad that I did, I wouldn’t even question this.
Maybe I am crazy too.
Hum…
There is always that voice in my head that talks to me…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
