Conscience (Dez)

Just after I typed the previous post, I came across this quote in my quiet time. It seems so appropriate to the post which I made so I think of posting it.

Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? 

Expediency asks the question, is it politic? 

Vanity asks the question, is it popular? 

But, conscience asks the question, is it right?

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that is right. (Martin Luther King Jr)

How do we know our conscience is right? I think we have to think, reflect, seek humbly opinions from others (even though they may take a different stand from you) and to prepare a response early.
