ALBERT EINSTEIN
Example: Smoking was very popular earlier in time, but it wasn't healthy.
Reflection: What this quote is saying, is that even if the majority is choosing to do something, it doesn't mean that the great quantity of people can't be wrong. In other words, numbers shouldn't affect the ethics of the situation. Just because the number of people choosing the wrong can be great at times, doesn't mean that they are then choosing the right. Be the person to go against the crowd if you know you are choosing the right. Be the maverick who defends their position against the conformists who choose the wrong. Choosing the right no matter what the situation, will make you a better person. Choosing the right in a situation where all odds are against you won't be the popular choice, but your conscience will be clear. Don't conform to something you know is not right, or that you aren't sure about. Be sure to abstain from choosing the wrong and all of the pressure. If society's expectations follow the path of choosing the wrong, then don't act according to those limitations. You are your own person, so make the decision to choose the right on your own if you have to.
