Motivation deriving logically from ethical or moral principles that govern a person's thoughts and actions.Conscience" is the consciousness of consciousness.the persistent memory of how to behave well within a social framework often at odds with what we think we want to do. consider this "conscience is the best judge",what we can get from this ?you know that little thing that says "I probably shouldn't do that" or "I really should do...." Well, that is your conscience. Your conscience is developed as you grow .you learn is right and wrong from your parents or caregivers and any other person around you.Conscience is an inward principle which decides as to the character of ones own actions against and condemning that which is wrong, and approving to that which is right , so definitely it can be the best guide to good conduct but important thing is you have to obey ur conscience that what is wrong and what is right. People are raised differently with various values , beliefs and principles.some may support drinking,sex before marriage etc,but some dont so u have to decide ,which one is right for u .thats where the importance of mind comes. listen to ur mind also ,its much easier to listen to the mind than conscience,which makes it more simple .i consider conscience as an ally. with regards

A complete nagger ... =p Actually, I don't think we need to separate the conscience from us... we are one, and it's a part of the natural process of making decisions to have a little "fight" with it once in a while . If you want to ... you could call that difference of opinions (between your conscience and you... ) "internal conversation" but always, always always is going to be an useful tool for us. ^.^

I see my conscience as an ally, a friend. Whenever I do something directly in conflict with my conscience, I know I am doing something wrong.

Conscience teaches me what is right and wrong. It's the one that forces me what and not what to do. Its teaches me to be fair to all to the best of my ability, therefore its my ally and friend... But that depends to every person I believe.

??? No idea. You've to figure it out? Is a conscience an apple, or a pear?
