Social Approval or Principles?
#4
RE: Social Approval or Principles?
History - ancient as well as modern - is replete with examples of people who stood for principles over societal approval. Personally, I have, at various times, lost my windows, my liberty and my left eye over matters of principle.

Yes, lots of people will belt up about injustice of all sorts in order to 'fit in' witgh their supposed peers, but it seems plain that if there weren't enough people who did the opposite, then nothing would ever change. Ever.
