Summary

A seared conscience refers to a state in which an individual's moral compass has been muted and corrupted by a habitual suppression of their inner voice of reason. Over time, this suppression leads to a distorted perception of right and wrong, inhibiting the conscience from serving its intended purpose as a guiding force. Instead of offering caution, it only serves to validate and reinforce the person's predetermined inclination to engage in evil actions. In essence, a seared conscience reflects an individual's unwillingness to confront and rectify their immoral behavior.
