** The Dreadful Inescapability of Conscience
------------------------------------------------------------
The following is from a draft of
Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life
(Estimated Read: 2 Minutes)
We hold ourselves personally responsible for the decisions that we have made, or failed to have made, and the actions we have undertaken, or failed to have undertaken, as if we had a choice in the matter—and no matter how sophisticated the rationalizations we might generate to account for our failures, we find it very difficult for our consciences to be quelled by explanations that remove from us our sense of moral culpability and responsibility.

In the light of day, we might be narcissistically certain of the correctness of our actions or inactions. In the dark of the night, however, when sleep will not come, or suddenly vanishes, we find ourselves confronted by doubt and uncertainty and shame and guilt and fear and apprehension, and we torture ourselves: did we do the right thing? And it is very difficult to account for this self-accusation, as it does not seem so much something we choose (as if we would choose to experience involuntary guilt and shame and doubt) as something that is an inevitable consequence of a poor decision—particularly if we knew when we made the decision that we were taking the easy way out.

Tried by the Athenians for failing to worship the correct gods and for corrupting the youth with his teaching, Socrates knew his time was coming to an end. Rather than flee the city, Socrates asked his inner voice, his spirit to guide him. Socrates concluded that it was his time to stand with his shoulders back and leave the world on his own terms.

The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (Existentialism) ([link removed])

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, perhaps the greatest Russian author of the twentieth century, was an Orthodox Christian existentialist, a direct descendant of Dostoevsky’s thinking, and a man who took a mighty axe to the terrible tangled roots of communist totalitarianism. He associated inauthentic being on the part of the individual, within society, with the direct degeneration of that society into tyranny and malevolence.
