Where and Why

"I just know it's right." Ever heard someone say that? I've even said it myself a time or two. Somewhere inside of each one of us is that voice that tells us what is right and what is wrong. Where exactly is that voice and why is it there?

Seems like a simple question that may be easily dismissed as foolishness, but in reality it is a very important question that we really should give some serious thought. I know that many people might suggest that it is simply your conscience and leave it at that. I cannot leave it at that and be satisfied.

A few questions that come to mind are the following: How can we discern truth if we do not understand how we can distinguish between right and wrong? What is it all based on and does that really matter? What is at stake if I am wrong?
