Greetings @fixyetbroken ,

Thank you for giving the principle a think.

If we say the principle backwards or opposite its original order...'A clean conscience makes the softest pillow'....it may not be good grammar but it might make the thought a bit clearer.

An illustration for the principle might be ....a child steals a piece of bubble-gum at the store and then cannot sleep because his conscience is reminding him that what he did was wrong....that sort of thing.

Thus the Principle...The softest pillow is a clean conscience.....makes for better sleeping. ^__

Thank you for the reblog of this post....very kind of you.

Thank you for opportunity to discuss the principle.

Kind Regards,
