Father Leos Daily Meditation CONSCIENCE In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place. -- Mohandas Gandhi How I used to hate myself. So many times I caught myself pleasing the crowd, agreeing with people I did not understand or respect, laughing at jokes and opinions I loathed. How I used to hate myself! Today I have a healthy respect for what the majority may feel but I also trust and follow my conscience. I know that to be in the minority is not necessarily to be in the wrong. My recovery insists that I listen to my conscience, that inner self that is based on a program of honesty, that spiritual cornerstone of my life that I have come to trust. Now I can say to people, I do not agree. Today I give myself permission to disagree with family, friends and colleagues. May I never follow the crowd because of the numbers: God is one.
