I am running away from reality, as fast as i could.
and trying not to look back, so as to prevent my eye from tearing.
Mind and Conscience
Wednesday, January 31, 2007
"The most easily deteriorated of all the moral qualities is the quality called 'conscience.' In one state of a man's mind, his conscience is the severest judge that can pass sentence on him. In another state, he and his conscience are on the best possible terms with each other in the comfortable capacity of accomplices." "Makes sense. We have had this conversation two years back. It would be interesting to see where this conversation would lead to." "All is well if the mind is good." "Are you saying mind and conscience are different?" "Mind masters conscience." "But where does this differentiation lies?" "I cant draw a boundary between the two. If my mind didnt work, my conscience will drive me to madness." "Or the reason for your mind not to work is your conscience?" "Conscience acts first; almost a knee-jerk reaction. Then the mind dissects the act and confounds conscience." "Conscience is the personification of an action but not an action itself. Conscience reacts first. The most logical, judgmental and natural reaction for that being comes out first. Mind makes a logical decision on what needs to be executed." "So you agree to what I am saying." "More or less." "I thought you would disagree to the word 'confound'." "Not entirely though." "I guess things do have changed huh?" "A cell is dying in my body every second, I have seen two autumns without you since we last spoke and with our respective lifestyles, don't you think two years is long enough for me to change a little bit of my thought process?" "I thought in our case Time would be a healer." "I thought so too. But looks like Time was a killer with us."
