Consciousness is a quality of the mind generally regarded to comprise qualities such as subjectivity, self-awareness, sentience, sapience, and the ability to perceive the relationship between oneself and one's environment. It is a subject of much research in philosophy of mind, psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science.

Our conciousness is our awareness of everything around and in us - it's a part of our mind. I don't know if I can answer why we have it - I think that's beyond what we're capable of. Think of it this way - if we didn't have it, how could you even think of to answer this question. It's everything, yet undefinable.

Well, there's no scientific answer.
Science has yet to fathom this part of the mind/brain and has not even found a part of the body that is responsable for this.

IF YOU WENT TO A STORE AND BOUGHT A $20.00 SHIRT W/ A $50.00 BILL AND THE CASHIER GAVE YOU CHANGE FOR A $100.00. YOU REALLY WANT TO KEEP THAT CHANGE (THAT'S NOT YOURS) YOUR CONSCIOUS IS TELLING YOU TO KEEP IT, BUT IN YOUR HEART YOU KNOW IT'S WRONG.
