“Conscience is a creator of meaning. As a sense of constraint rooted in our emotional ties to one another, it prevents life from devolving into nothing but a long and essentially boring game of attempted dominance over our fellow human beings, and for every limitation conscience imposes on us, it gives us a moment of connectedness with an other, a bridge to someone or something outside of our often meaningless schemes.” GivingHumansLongMomentsGamesHuman BeingsEmotionalConscienceFellowsCreatorBoringLimitationBridgesTiesMeaninglessRootedSchemesConstraintsDominanceConnectedness Author:Martha Stout
