Imagine that you’re sitting in court and they’re saying that you’re guilty of murder. The gallery is full of people who believe you’re a killer. The only problem is, you’re not. You would never do such a thing. Yet, the entire world seems to believe that you are a monster. I think this would be a crushing reality to endure.
But then a single person sitting in the gallery tells you that they believe you and they know that you are innocent. They show support for you with nothing to gain and with immense pressure all around them.
To do what is right is not to follow the masses, but to stand for what is correct and right and good because of its goodness. It’s so difficult, but in standing for what is right, you show the true content of your character.
