Memento Vivere Episode 6 [February 2022]
Once we have and understand the knowledge of the objective difference between right and wrong according to Natural Law, then we can take action, using our conscience.
Conscience, from the Latin:
"con" = with
"scire" = to know, to understand = to know together, to understand together
Deep inside, we can feel what is right or wrong, and this is our conscience, our common sense. How do feel when you know you shouldn't do something and choose to do it anyway? And how do you feel when you're choosing to do the right thing? How would you feel if you were choosing to: - cause harm to another being - steal another's property - injure another's body (someone else's property) - initiate violence or coercion (intimidation by force)
Is there even one human being born with the right to commit those actions on another being? The answer is no. We are all born with the exact same rights. We are all born FREE under NATURAL LAW. If no one is born with such special rights, why would it be different for you? Let's ask ourselves honestly and learn from our past lessons, from the consequences of our bad choices. We are responsible for ourselves, our thoughts, our words and our actions. No one else is, and to claim the opposite is to blame others for the work that we haven't had the courage to do.
To have different results, we have to change our thoughts. To change ourselves and our current situation through our actions, requires us to care. We need to care.
