Summary
This quote suggests that people's conscience is often a result of their anticipation of how others will view or judge their actions. In other words, many individuals' moral compass is primarily influenced by the fear of social disapproval or the desire for acceptance. Instead of following their inner values or true ethical principles, they conform to the expectations of society. This implies that people's conscience may not always be an authentic reflection of their true selves but rather a reflection of the judgments and opinions they imagine from others.
