“Conscience is a man’s compass”
— Vincent Van Gogh
Simplified Meaning:
Our conscience helps us decide what is right or wrong, much like a compass shows direction. Just as a compass guides travelers through unknown areas, our sense of right and wrong guides our choices and actions in life. For example, imagine you find a wallet full of money on the street. Your conscience is that voice inside telling you the right thing is to return it to its owner instead of keeping the money. If we ignore this inner guide, we might end up making harmful decisions that affect ourselves and others badly. On the other hand, if we listen to it, we stay true to our values and make moral decisions. By trusting our conscience, we navigate life more honestly and responsibly, much like using a compass to stay on course during a journey.
