YOU’RE NOT ALONE!

We live in a society where you can be pulled down for doing the right thing. It just seem that this cycle never ends. The way unethical behaviors are upheld is sickening.

Sometimes, choosing to stick with all that you feel is good lands you on a lonely path.

For instance, an average school is up with exam malpractice, and then, you’re choosing to be different and you decide not to follow. Every tendency to be alone is high because even lecturers will tell you that they hope you survive.

And you feel you're alone, but the truth is, there are people out there who have not bowed their head to unethical standards. Don't ever feel you're alone.

We're too many in this world for only you to be upholding a right standard. Trust me, you're not alone.

The struggle might even be intense. You might feel stuck, but all that is just to make you bend. You just have to summon up courage and strength for what's is right. You might feel lonely, but I tell you boldly that you're not alone.

Very soon, you'll get to meet fellow persons who have upheld such standard as you did and they're standing strong regardless.

It’s individual fire that makes up collective fire. Let each individual choose to stick to doing the right thing, and when we come together, we can fight this thing and eventually what is right becomes the norm.

Don’t be swayed about. Choose to stand for what is right. Choose to say NO to pressure. Don’t put unnecessary pressure on yourself to fit in or follow the crowd. Follow the truth and let the truth lead you always.

You can get lonely, but know for sure that you’re not alone. This should keep you going.
