A good conscience tells us that were getting what we deserve. Whereas, a bad conscience tells us were giving others what they don’t deserve, which makes us feel were doing more harm then good, which is the root cause of suicide.
And this is why the corporate rich who own the war materials industry, are guilty of crimes against humanity, why they belong in an open air prison for life you see.
