“A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.”

Simplified Meaning:
When you do something wrong, you might feel guilty or bad inside, even if everything else seems fine. For instance, imagine you found a wallet with money on the street. Picking it up and spending the money might make you happy because you have extra cash now. But deep down, you might start feeling uneasy or troubled because you know it belongs to someone else. This uncomfortable feeling is your conscience telling you that taking the money was not the right thing to do. Listening to this inner voice helps you make better choices in the future. It's like an internal guide that reminds you to be honest and kind, even when no one is watching.
