Today there are young people who put to risk their helth abussing of alcohol and drugs, without being aware of doing a bad action.

    Due to the fact that rationality is something specific to the human being, it is necessary that man knows or aknowledges what is good or evil. He must be conscious of the acts he does, and of the goodness or evil of those acts being done or ommitted. For instance: in the fact of not going to the Holy Mass one Sunday or one feast, man has to recognize that day to be Sunday and he has the serious obligation to attend.

    The opposite to knowledge is ignorance, which consists of unknowledging that an action is good or bad. Ignorance can be of two types: vincible or invincible.

    Ordinarily, the use or reason and the searching for the truth of things is something less appreciated. Eating, drinking or having fun are more followed than acquiring knowledges and great ideals to develop positive habits for living.

    There is a big conexión between doctrine and life, between theoretical knowledge and practical conduct. The lack of a well-formed conscience usually led to a disordered life. On the contrary, when you live a life unbalanced you try to search for subjective reasons in order to justify them.

    In other situations, knowledge is weakened by drugs consume, such as alcohol, some medicines, or states of depression or anxiety.

    The lack of positive knowledge can be the result of the ignorance of basic Christian truths, or due to having received wrong doctrines at school, by your family or through society.

    So, it is urgent to put every needed means so that every body improves instruction and training of personality with human and Christian values.
