Lamce, I should eexplain why the examples. I was trying to demonstrate that conscience triggers conviction on matters quaint and profound. No real pattern to it except that I never feel guilt because I forgot to do something wrong.

am thinking that the conscience of an idividual is that which receives impute (socialization as you call it) and triggers guilt or conviction. It does not kick into gear when I do something good. It only works when I violate personal and/or noble (by comparision) convictions or pledges. My source of authority for this is ME. Not that I am an authority, but I am drawing on how the conscience works in my life.
In my life, I have a conscience for putting the seat down on the toilet. It does not have the force of an obcession, but it is a strong force. If I leave the master bath without having put the lid down, I will go back and do so most of the time. When I get out of my truck, I seldom walk around the front end of the truck. On a more noble plain, when I hurt my wifes feelings or cause her some concern, I am convicted in heart to solve that problem. What do you think?
