Inherent battle. Part 1.

      

        The first battle in life that needs to be won is the battle with one's own conscience. Whenever we do a benevolent act, we are affirmed of the right doing by our inner self that is the conscience. The time we commit a wrongdoing we are simply rebuked by our conscience. The time when we perform our duties earnestly and sincerely, we are appreciated by none other than our inner self. 

         There are institutions set up by the state to effectively carry on the business of the civilized society and that no downgraded actions are committed in the society. These institutions of the state are Police, Courts and various other such institutions. But, the biggest institution is within us and that is our inner self, the soul or the conscience.
