Conscience: a person's moral sense of right and wrong, viewed as acting as a guide to one's behaviour

Which ones of us have the same conscience? Like with personalities, as the personality differs from one person to another, the conscience change too.
You have psychopaths, and all those people that are regularly disobeying the law, with no conscience.
You would have notice that the right and wrong in the definition above, is only for that person, as we all have our own right and wrong, and obviously the law that you have to obey, whether you like it of not.
Morals are also unique to a single person, and on the other hand can be so convoluted, that it's a nightmare subject.

a Person is not perfect when they have a conscience. Nobody in the whole world are perfect, but some definitely believe so!

People manipulate your feelings of guilt. Either emotionally or to physically get you to do want they want making you weaker . Guilt causes stress making you physically weaker

Well, I don't need noone to tell me what is good or bad, I know, and I try to avoid the bad things as much as possible. If that's my conscience, well okay. If not, also okay.
