The fear of being left alone overcomes the innate rational thinking for many. This fear is inherent in human nature. This is the weak spot through which devil always creeps in. Since the beginning of time, people have been going against nature and knowingly making wrong decisions! Why, when they know it's wrong?
Religion says that Satan makes it appealing to humans. Appealing or not, the bottom line is that humans make those choices. Everyone is born with a conscious that distinguishes between right or wrong but it's advice is ignored till it becomes mute because it propositions self control and restrictions, things that human nature abhors.
I hear teenagers do crazy stuff under peer pressure in high schools. Students take extreme measures to please their fraternity members and sororities in colleges. Adults make unthinkable mistakes to fit into the society.
Everyone does it!
It is the norm!
This is the current thing!
I will be an outcast if I don't do it.
No one will talk to me.
I don't want to be left alone.
We are all familiar with the "While in Rome, do what the Romans do" thinking and reasoning to mingle.
Wrong.
I say.
Do not do what the Romans do unless you believe in it.
Stand your grounds.
Know who you are and make your choices according to your own beliefs.
Yes.
Believe in "something".
Search, learn and believe. It will give you strength. It will bring the confidence to find your own voice under pressure and to stand up against the wind.
Do not just go with the wind. Think and ponder. Analyze and rationalize. Weigh and choose and choose wisely.
Always sail for the truth. Soar high for justice and stand firm against oppression and evil. There is absolutely no excuse to support the corrupt. Do not fear isolation. The truth has the ability to endure till eternity. Believe in the truth and yourself. It might take time but the masses will follow.
