The Conscience and the Nerve
An individual with uncontrolled diabetes can develop neuropathy, a condition where the nerve literally becomes numb and unable to send signals to the brain. This is the primary reason why diabetic patients are advised to check their feet daily. With functionally defective nerves, a wound or injury may remain unnoticed, unattended and infected. The NERVES allow the BODY to feel PAIN, protecting the body from harm.
Like the nerve, the CONSCIENCE sends GUILT feelings in order to preserve the SOUL. By repeatedly ignoring the guilt feeling a reproachable act incites, the conscience may become numb, leaving the soul vulnerable. With an injured soul, a person may end up basking in apathy, hopelessness and bitterness. Alive but without life.
