1618:
When it comes to the
maltreatment of animals, our conscience should weigh heavily on all of us - how
could it not? It worries many of us that we can be so cruel to animals. Perhaps
our callous disposition is nothing more than our conscience struggling with
detachment. The guilty look on our faces is something we may not notice about
ourselves, but we notice it in others.
Science has no proof of the
existence of conscience! Fancy that! Many scientists (as well as
non-scientists) believe that ‘matters of conscience’ are secondary to the
interests of human advancement. The white-coat brigade wield enormous
influence, their knowledge of how things work outweighs both emotion and
conscience. And until recently the scientist was regarded as the new god. But
the scales have fallen from our eyes today and people are now veering towards 'greener'
people, who use an intuition that relies on the wisdom of conscience.
