<p>IS CONSCIENCE A MORE POWERFUL MOTIVATOR THAN MONEY, FAME OR POWER?</p>
<p>conscience. conscience is an inner, unavoidable voice humans should listen to. but it's importance is getting paltry now. for most people, motivation is merely a result of the yearning for fame, power and money. thus, motivation is present immensely today, but because of the constant desire for perishable things like power, money and fame. conscience remains indestructible, how much ever people avoid it. </p>
<p>Julius Caeser, one of Shakespeare's heart-rending stories provides perfect exemplification through the personalities of two notable characters- Marcus Brutus and Marcus Antonius. Julius caeser is a tragedy and is the story of the assassination of Julius Caeser himself. Marcus Brutus, Caeser's confidant, had a major part in Caeser's assassination. he, under the influence of the other conspirators and due to his drive for acquiring power, killed Caeser, who loved him dearly. caesar was about the ascend the ladder of authority. he was about to become the dictator of the capitol of rome. but just one night before his undertaking, Caeser was stabbed to death. and brutus was the last to end him, ending his life forever. Brutus's main purpose was to kill caeser and conceal the murder under the sheets of goodwill. he presented Caeser's murder as a deed necessary to save the capitol from tyranny. thus, his motivation was to kill Caeser was a result of the lust for power and authority. he paid no attention to his conscience, thereafter, committing what was a sin. on the other hand, Marcus Antonius, another dear friend of Caeser, stood by his side and supported him, even after his death. it was he who proved that Ceaser's death was a sin, and not as Brutus showed it to be, a necessary evil. he stood by his friendship. he stood by his loyalty. but most importantly, he listened to his conscience. </p>
<p>another example of disagreeable motivation I would like to provide is the capture of India by the British from the East India Company in the eighteenth century. it was for 200 years that the British ruled India, exploiting all the resources they could lay their hands on. the sole reason behind the motivation of the British to capture India was the desire to acquire more benefits for their own country. thus, India's freedom struggle became a fight against the need to destroy an inclination towards the desire to gain control veiled by motivation.</p>
<p>conclusively, I think that motivation today is merely a result of the need to acquire power, fame or money, or maybe even all of the three. i do not deny that there are people present in this world who listen to their inner conscience and support it. I'm just claiming that there aren't 'many' people who actually believe in their conscience. the present day situation clearly shows that motivation is a result of transitory factors like fame, power and money and not conscience, which is an eminent factor.</p>
