Cowardice asks the question ‘Is it safe?’

Expediency asks the question ‘Is it politic?’

Vanity asks the question ‘Is it popular?’

But, conscience asks the question ‘Is it right?’

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because ones conscience tells one that is right.

Dr. Martin Luther Kind, Jr.

Reflection: One may say it is right and it may seem like it is safe, politic or popular. For an example doing drugs is very popular
