Should They Be Saved

What is the consequence of the lack of a conscience? To live without regret as if every choice is perfect Like we have the Rosetta stone already defining all ends To kill the moral compass and take our own direction, Calling ourselves masters of our own fate The sacrifices of self to our inner gods... When is it reasonable to throw caution to the wind? The wind that can cause hurricanes when we hurry as if we can Escape all outcomes to these decisions we make Under self duress without redress. Can we judge those who do not believe in reproof? Or speak to them in our condescending tones, as if we Know better than the one who watches ‘morality’ from their pedestal. How then can they see what you see? He who is without sight can have insight but he without insight; Can we put clay over their eyes and induce vision? Or diagnose a cataract that has never blurred their seeing Should they be saved?
