黑心: 'a mind full of sly and dishonest greed.' You smile outside and think otherwise inside. We say you 'hold' a 흑심 — hidden, and so, dark.
良心 — the good mind: 'the mind that tells right from wrong.' And 가책 (呵責) means 'to scold and reproach'. So a guilty conscience is your own mind telling you off.
本心 — the mind you have had all along. You 'hold' a 흑심, but a 本心 'comes out'. Hiding and revealing both end in 心.
私心 — a private mind, one's own greed; 'without 사심' means without self-interest. But 死心, same sound, means a mind resolved unto death. One to discard, one to stake your life on.
黑心 hidden and dark, 良心 telling right from wrong, 本心 underneath, 私心 one's own greed. Who tells you a 흑심 is wrong? Not a teacher, not a parent — the 良心 already inside you.
