Sometimes, in order to follow our moral compass and/or our hearts, we have to make unpopular decisions or stand up for what we believe in.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.
As we develop the moral aspect of our lives, we often adapt standards of right and wrong that serve as guides and deterrents for our conduct.
We have to stand up for what we believe in, even when we might not be popular for it. Honesty starts with being ourselves, authentic and true to who we are and what we believe in, and that may not always be popular, but it will always let you follow your dreams and your heart.
We do not just blindly concede control to authorities; instead we follow the cues provided by our moral communities on how best to behave.
We are people in circumstances who make choices that we think are right at the time.
Regardless of the magnitude of the decision, our brains make it hard for us to keep the perspective we need to make good choices.
When you do something moral and upright and wander off by yourself, well, everyone doesn't always follow you, do they, right? You pat yourself on your sanctimonious back but it doesn't mean the crowd rewards you for doing what you think is right.
We've all done actions in our lives where we compromise what we believe in. And if we keep doing it, there's no way back, no pride to hold on to.
I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime.
Circumstances dictate your set of values, your set of morals.
