What exactly is consciousness? Why do we need a consciousness when we do something wrong and know it is wrong? Does it steer us in the right direction? Are there some people that have no conscience and feel nothing? Sometimes, I think something will hurt someone or cause damage, so I do not do it. For instance, there is someone I really like, and she likes me too, so I know where to draw the line regarding our relationship. The Bible shows what the conscience is and that it guides all man Romans 2: 14-15. The conscience can be changed with circumstances, so we can defile it, suppress it, or get rid of it entirely.
(1Corinthians 8:7, Titus 1:15), we hope that our conscience reflects the will of the Father.
A man named Gregor lived in a quaint town between rolling hills and meandering streams. He was a thoughtful soul, always pondering the intricate mysteries of life. The question that intrigued him most was the nature of consciousness. As the amber leaves gently fell from the trees one crisp autumn evening, he sat on a weathered bench in the town square.
What exactly is consciousness? He gazed at the horizon, thinking. As he delved into his thoughts, he mused a question that seemed to linger in the crisp evening air. He wondered about the role of consciousness when faced with moral dilemmas. Why do we need a conscience when we do something wrong? We know it’s wrong. Gregor pondered, his mind like the labyrinth of human morality. In the heart of this contemplation, Gregor began to question whether consciousness guided individuals in the right direction. He thought about those moments when his internal compass taught him away from actions that could potentially harm others. He wondered if consciousness acts as a moral compass, seeking answers in the shadows of his music.
The faces of people without a conscience and devoid of empathy and feelings haunted Gregor`s reflections. Are there some people who have no conscience or feelings and feel nothing? He questioned, a chill running down his spine at the mere thought of such emptiness. His thoughts then turned into personal experiences, for example, a relationship with someone he cared deeply for. Sometimes I think something will hurt someone or cause damage, so I do not do it all, Gregor confessed, contemplating the delicate balance between desire and responsibility.
Gregor found solace in faith. He turned to the words of the Bible specifically (Romans 2, 14, 15) and spoke of the consciousness guiding all humanity. The sacred text became a source of wisdom, shedding light on the intricacies of the human soul. However, Gregor couldn’t ignore the vulnerability of the consciousness. He realized that circumstances could alter its course, leading individuals to defile, suppress, or even rid themselves of this internal compass(Corinthians 8,7 Titus 1:15 ), yet in the face of such fragility, there is hope that the conscience could reflect the will of a higher power guiding individuals toward the path of righteousness. This is a story from a friend of his
As the evening shadow lingered, John continued to contemplate the enigma of consciousness in the corridors of his mind. The quaint quest for understanding persisted, seeking to unravel the mysteries of the essence of being human. As I said, thinking of an experience and how he handled it, he couldn’t help but wonder how humankind would turn out if they had no consciousness. The memory that haunted him, one that had shaped his perception of the world and his place within it.
It was a chilly evening that nipped at your skin and made you pull your coat tighter around yourself. He was walking home from work, lost in his thoughts, when he spotted a woman who seemed to extrude a radiant energy that drew his gaze like a moth to a flame. He hesitated, the feeling of shyness creeping over him like a suffocating blanket. How could he approach her? What would he even say? These questions raced through his mind, each one adding to his anxiety.
Something within him urged him forward, pushing him out of his comfort zone. With a deep breath, he summoned his courage and took the first steps towards her. Excuse me he said, his voice wavering slightly. I couldn’t help but notice you from across the street. I would like to know if you’d like to grab coffee sometime. To his surprise, she smiled warmly, her eyes sparkling with genuine interest. I’d love to, she replied, her voice soft and inviting, and just like that, a simple conversation blossomed into something more, a connection forged between two strangers on a cold city street. As they walked together, sharing stories and laughter, he couldn’t shake his wonder.
How different would his life be if he let his fear hold him back? How many missed opportunities had passed him because he had was too late, too afraid to seize them, but even as these thoughts lingered in his mind, another question tugged at his consciousness: what if humans didn’t have consciousness at all? What if they were guided solely by instinct without the ability to reflect on their actions or contemplate the consequences? The thought chilled him to the bone without consciousness of what would set humanity apart from the rest of the animal kingdom and what would become of the art of science of love lost in these existential ponderings. He walked on the memory of that chance encounter, serving as a reminder of the power of human connection and the importance of overcoming fear in pursuit of it.
One day, I mused up the interest to approach her. She worked at a bakery I passed on my way home from work every day without fail. I would see her through the window; her face lit up with a warm smile as she worked behind the counter. I waved, and she waved back, her smile growing wider each time it became a routine, a small moment of connection amid the bustling city streets, but on this particular day, something shifted within me. Perhaps it was how her eyes sparkled in the afternoon sunlight, or maybe it was simply the culmination of weeks of building courage. Whatever the reason, I knew I had to take the chance. After work, I made my way to the bakery, the familiar doorbell jamming my arrival. The scent of freshly baked pastries enveloped me as I stepped inside, filling me with comfort and anticipation.
I approached the counter, trying to ignore the flutter of nerves in my stomach, and ordered a cup of coffee and a donut. As I waited for my order, I couldn’t help but look in her direction, admiring the effortless grace with which she moved about her work. Finally, with my coffee in hand and donut on a plate, I found a seat by the window and unfolded my newspaper, but before I could immerse myself in the headlines, I felt a presence beside me. Can I join you? she asked, her voice soft and melodic.
I looked up, surprised to see her standing there, a shy smile playing at the corners of her lips. Not at all, I replied, gesturing to the empty chair across from me. She settled into the seat, her eyes meeting mine with the warmth that sent shivers down my spine, and just like that, we began to talk about our favorite books, our travels, and the small joys and challenges of everyday life. As the hours passed, the world outside faded away, leaving only the two of us lost in conversation. It felt like we were the only people in the universe, our connection growing stronger with each passing moment.
Eventually, the sky outside darkened, the fading sunlight giving way to the soft glow of streetlights. Reluctantly, we realized that it was time to part ways. As I walked home that evening, a sense of wonder filled my heart. Who would have thought a simple wave and a smile could lead to such a profound connection? As I reflected on our conversation, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the courage that had propelled me to take the first step, which had changed everything.
I savored every moment of her company. Her laughter was like music to my ears; her smile was a beacon of light in a dimly lit bakery. As we chatted, she asked if I worked nearby, to which I nodded, mentioning that I also lived in the Electra Town Center. A spark of excitement ignited when I realized how close we were to our apartments, just a short walk away. As she refilled my coffee, her presence enveloped me, and I couldn’t help but notice how pretty she was, how her hair fell in gentle waves around her face, and how her skin lingered in the air, sweet and intoxicating.
Her image stayed in my mind the next day like a persistent dream. I found myself unable to focus on anything else, my thoughts consumed by the memory of her laughter and the warmth of her presence. Determined, I went to the bakery, hoping to catch another glimpse of her. I sat down at my usual table, anticipation course through my veins when she approached with my coffee and doughnut. I couldn’t help but notice how her eyes sparkled with kindness and how her smile lit up the entire room. The chatter of a bustling bakery, a voice whispered in my mind urging me to act. It would be best if you took her home, it said, in a persistent voice that grew louder with each passing moment.
I tried to push the thought aside and focus on the simple pleasure of her company. Still, the voice persisted, its words echoing in my mind like a mantra. Unable to ignore it any longer, I gathered my courage and asked: would you like to come to my place after work? I asked, my voice trembling slightly to my relief. She smiled; her eyes twinkled with amusement. I’d love to, she replied her response sending a surge of adrenaline coursing through my veins as we walked side by side through the bustling streets Of the Electric Town Center. I couldn’t shake the feeling of exhilaration that filled me. Who knew a chance encounter at a bakery could lead to something unexpected and fantastic? As I reached my apartment building hand in hand, I knew that this was the beginning of a beautiful journey that I couldn’t wait to embark on with her by my side.
I was going to ask her out. The idea lingered for days, but a voice kept telling me to do it. It was a persistent and constant whisper urging me to leap. I tried to ignore it, to push it to the back of my mind, but it refused to be silenced. Finally unable to resist any longer, I gathered my courage and asked her out. To my surprise, she said yes and smiled, lighting up the room and filling me with exhilaration.
We went to a movie and then played pool. The tension was palpable between us as we sat in the darkened theater. Afterward, we went back to my apartment, the air thick with anticipation and unspoken desire, but even as the voice in my head urged me to give him to the temptation to let go of my inhibitions to lose myself in the moment, I couldn’t shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at my consciousness.
I wanted to take things slow to savor each moment and let our connection grow organically. Still, as the night went on, I found myself giving in to the voice, ignoring the warning signs that flashed before my eyes, and then, just like that, she was gone, no explanation, no goodbye, just a sudden and unexpectable disappearance that left me reeling with confusion and regret in the days that followed I couldn’t help but wonder if I had made the right choice did I hurt her by giving in to my impulse by rushing into something that wasn’t ready to be was that why she vanished so quickly leaving behind nothing but unanswered questions and lingering doubts.
I often look back on that night, replaying the events in my mind and searching for clues that might explain her sudden departure. Still, no matter how hard I try, I can’t shake the feeling that I let her down and failed to live up to the person she deserved. As I continued to grapple with the aftermath of our brief encounter, I couldn’t help but wonder if things might have been different if I had listened to the voice urge caution that warned me against giving in to my impulses.
Ultimately, all I can do is learn from my mistake and carry the weight of my regret as a reminder of the importance of listening to that voice, even when it’s telling you something you don’t want to hear.
