Good Angel (theory)

The Good Angel theory suggests that each person has an internal, moral voice or sense of intuition—like a guiding angel—that helps them make ethical decisions and choose the right path. It acts as an internal conscience, encouraging good behavior and discouraging harmful actions. This concept is often used to explain why people might feel guilty after doing something wrong and why they tend to seek moral guidance in challenging situations. In essence, the "Good Angel" represents our innate capacity for moral judgment and the internal motivation to act ethically.
