Contrary to common opinion, a conscience is not judgmental. A conscience is just the knowledge (“con-science,” “with knowledge “) of good and evil.

What you do with that knowledge, is up to you.

BTW, this is the tweet Ms. Oates is responding to:

I’ve taken a lot of hits, and I’ve deserved some of them. I beat myself up over them more than you can imagine.

But the grace people have shown me here is truly humbling.

Some of the kindest words have come from the people you’d least expect.

And for that I am so grateful.… https://t.co/Rdfra3oyRo

This isn’t about me. It’s about every person in recovery who shows up and tries again.

And to everyone still in the fight tonight: you are not alone, I see you.

I do think of cats as creatures of grace. That’s because I don’t think of grace the way most people do.

Grace is also a part of conscience.
