“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.” Margaret Chase Smith
“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.” Margaret Chase Smith
This is an amazing quote by Margaret Chase Smith.
Today there are many individuals who succumb to the desires of others knowing
that it is wrong, but are pressured into committing improper action. Suppose
there is a group of kids who are going to go to their friend’s older brother’s
house and drink alcohol, but the kid does not think that it is proper for them
to be doing that and is then ridiculed by his “friends” because they believe
that he is not “fun” anymore, but the kid decides to leave the group and not
consume any alcohol. Ask yourself who is of better character, the kid who left
the group or the kid who proposed the insidious activity? Most definitely the
kid who did not succumb to his “friends” desires and was not provoked to accept
his friend’s proposal even though the others all wanted to drink.
