In Science, International Day of Conscience, which is focused on self-reflection and understanding what it means to "do the right thing", is aimed at building a culture of peace throughout the world. Much like the character "Jiminy Cricket" from "Pinnochio", someone's conscience can be described as their moral sense of right and wrong.
There are several ways you can observe this important day. Here are a few ideas:
- Think about what "doing the right thing" means to you. Are there situations where an action like lying or stealing might be OK? Why?
- Try to do one "right" thing, even if it is small. For example, if you believe that killing is wrong, then start by trying to avoid killing a fly, a mosquito, or an ant. Starting small can help you develop a stronger understanding and a more robust conscience over time.
However you choose to observe this important day, trying to do so can help build a more peaceful world, help you practice your compassion, and help you build your own spiritual wellness.
