Right

Thomas S. Monson


"If your so-called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong, you be the one to make a stand for the right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow"

What this quote means to me is that you should stand up for what is right even when everyone is against you. There is many people who are sheep and follow a belief because majority of the people believe or follow that certain group. An example of this is when Hitler was around. He gained power because the everyone wanted to follow the group that everyone"believed" in. When everyone is against you, you feel discouraged to state your opinion even when you know you are correct. Another example is when De Jure segregation was around. In other words, there was legal racial segregation in the USA. People were scared to stand up for colored people, because they feared that they would persecuted for having beliefs. Most people believed that the laws were flawed but didn't speak up because the didn't want to be different.
