Many are preying on us and taking advantage of our good nature, our misplaced conscience. This is what most charities are about, all your money goes to pay the high salaries of those executives pretending to help the world whilst running their charities like profitable corporations. When is it last time you actually helped a dying African? Are you sure you did help that dying African in the end? I would not bet on it. Corruption is everywhere, and God is too often used as an excuse to justify any atrocity, any genocide.
In any case I feel you'd be better off without a conscience. Until at least every single human being on the planet, every single government, every single religious authority and every member of any management do grow a conscience. Then it might be worth reconsidering developing one yourself.
At this time not many of our leaders have a conscience, they have proven that time and time again, it is human nature. I suggest we do not follow their advice that we should develop a conscience whilst their own rules for us do not apply to them. It makes it too easy for them to control us a whole. Send that elevator back to the heavens without any of us within it, we have all sin, at any rate we are already beyond salvation according to their definition, it cannot ne otherwise.
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free. We still need to fight for our freedom, for our peace of mind, for our happiness, for a better world. Is it too late to grow a conscience?
