******************************************
Wasting a life is not difficult. It comes easily to all of us at one time or the other. Judas had been a faithful follower of Christ – but he had his price, thirty pieces of silver. And a modern day Judas sells his or her soul for a new, important title at work or a raise in pay.
Or, turning a blind eye to improprieties, immoral or illegal behavior or both.
And the first time THIS HAPPENS, this playing it safe rather than playing it right - the first time the coward who lurks within everyone rises to the fore, there is a great sound of inner pain that issues forth.
And perhaps after a second time, but if every time a conscience tries to communicate what is right or what is wrong it is ignored, forgotten, broken on the rack of unconcern, told to shut up, eventually it will take the command to heart and, do just that, shut up permanently.
It may be carrying things a bit far, but perhaps it should be a custom to have a funeral service when someone has let their conscience die.
All the family and friends of the man or woman should attend; and by so doing admit that since the conscience is now dead, no one will be hearing from it anymore. And, oh yes, the former owner of this conscience should certainly also be in attendance.
“Men are instructed sufficiently that they know good from evil…” 2 Ne. 2:5
