"La conciencia no es más que una palabra que usan los cobardes, ideada al principio para mantener a los fuertes atemorizados"

William Shakespeare

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes people might say that feeling guilty or having a conscience is just something that scares strong and brave people into not doing what they really want. Imagine a student who wants to cheat on a test because they believe everyone else is doing it, and they won’t get caught. However, their conscience makes them feel bad about cheating and stops them. Someone might argue that this feeling of guilt is just a way to control them and keep them from excelling by any means necessary. But in reality, having a conscience helps maintain fairness and integrity. Following your conscience, despite what others say, helps build trust and respect in relationships and society. So, rather than seeing it as a weakness, seeing it as a guiding principle can help make better choices and lead a more honest life.
