“A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.”

Simplified Meaning:
When everything in your life seems to be going well and you're feeling happy, your conscience is the little voice inside you that makes you feel bad if you’ve done something wrong. Imagine you win a big prize and feel excited and good, but if you cheated to win, your conscience will remind you of the cheating and make you feel guilty. It’s like feeling a tiny pain in your heart even when your body feels fine. This internal feeling helps you understand right from wrong. For example, if you lie to your friend and later feel bad about it, that’s your conscience. Listening to it and making amends can help you live a more honest and kind life.
