Being Conscious

Being Conscious is knowing the What and the Why.

If something is happening and we know what is happening and why it's happening then we're conscious of the situation. If we only know one of the two then we're semi-conscious; we're only aware of it. And, if we don't know both the What and the Why, then we're not conscious of it at all.

For example, our co-workers got into a verbal argument with our manager and now our co-workers are in a bad mood.

If we know they're in a bad mood because they got into an argument with our manager then we're conscious of what's happening with our co-workers.

And, if we only know they're in a bad mood but don't know why. Or if we know they had an argument with our manager but don't know they're in a bad mood. We're aware of what's happening with them but we're only semi-conscious of it.

Finally, if we don't know our co-workers are in a bad mood and don't know it's because they got into an argument with our manager, we aren't conscious of what's happening with them at all.

Being conscious of something means we know the What and the Why. And our level of consciousness of it decreases the less we know.

We're fully conscious if we know both the What and the Why. Semi-conscious if we only know one of them and not conscious if we don't know any of them at all.
