THE THING ABOUT MAJORITY.

The fact that people are doing it does not make it right.

We tend to normalize what is common. If a sin is committed too often, it begins to seem like no sin at all. But really, "majority wins the vote" doesn’t apply to anything outside of politics.

One of the things I greatly dislike is generalization, and I also think it is the root of normalizing what is largely accepted. We live in a society where, if a particular thing is accepted by a large number of people, it is no longer questioned, it becomes an unspoken rule.

It really shouldn’t be so. Instead of accepting things simply because they are widely accepted, I believe that what is commonly embraced should undergo even more scrutiny.

Dearest reader, if you observe closely, you may be surprised to realize that much of what you do is influenced by what the majority around you does. This, in itself, is not wrong. What is wrong is failing to question the majority’s actions to understand why they do what they do.

While right and wrong are governed by intentions and motives, don’t follow a trend simply because others are doing it. Seek to understand their reasons and their story first.
