Believe me, I truly appreciate our conversations.
I'm going to go take a shower and go to the store now. Stay away from spacedicks.
This is an interesting topic. I have to admit I still do not understand the conscience thing? I don't really know what that feels like. I have never done anything that I felt bad about or kept me up at night but then I have avoided anything that would get me sent to prison as I would be a terrible inmate, I cant stand losing freedom or having anyone ever tell me what to do which is why I have chosen a very independent life. I do have a lot of anger and I think of chopping someone's head off but I know I won't get away with it and I don't want to end up like Jody Arias. I feel a conscience and a soul are abstract concepts and they make no sense to me, am I alone in this?
I wouldn't hurt pets, I wouldn't kill my friends and I would not molest anyone. Also I would not betray or lie to myself.
Most people, me including, do horrible things every day by buying and eating meat that has been animals pretty extremely abused, drink coffee or eat chocolate where child slave labor is common, buy items that are made in terrible sweat shops... and so on. This empaths do on a regular basis without thinking twice. They/we contribute to abusing the poor, children, animals and the planet itself. For some reason that is OK. As long as you don't do it with your own hands. A very peculiar view, I might say.
I'm not sure what is my conscience really, and what is just my inner moral values. There is a bit of a difference there.
