There’s no such thing as conscience

Conscience should weigh heavily on people - how could it not? If it happens in our aware-ised world it hurts us. It worries us, that we’re so cruel to animals. We humans are inveterate worriers. Perhaps we worry in our sleep, but during the day we certainly bring our worry into our daily moods. I reckon grumpy disposition is nothing more than our conscience grumbling. Our faces show it too, with that familiar tired, hardened-by-life, cold, vacant, gobsmacked, de-energised, detached look. The look of us humans is something we all notice in each other.
Science has no proof of the existence of conscience! Fancy that! Many scientists (and non-scientists too) believe that ‘conscience’ is secondary to the interests of human advancement. So, to avoid the white-coat brigade with their proof-positive mentality, one might need to veer towards “greener” people, who use intuition to find answers. Intuition is surely reliant on conscience.
