I watch others and carefully observe their choices and reasoning. So many are so cavalier in their willingness to abandon their conscience for a group conscience. Doing what their social group, religion, or political party thinks is the right thing to do. Killing their spark of individuality to be accepted as part of something larger.

I don’t want to be a part of something larger. My sense of justice has dictation over my happiness. Justice tells me that I must be true to my conscience, never disregarding it for any reason. To be happy, I have to be me. If that makes me unacceptable to a religion, political party, social group, or my peers, I couldn’t care less. I’ll die happy knowing that I didn’t violate my conscience.
