"Stand For Right"

"If your so-called friends urge you to do anything you know to be wrong, you be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow."
                                                                 - Thomas Monson

What this quote means is to always stand up for right even when your being pressured into doing wrong. At times people will think the wrong is right because most people will think it's right. You need to stand up to all those people. Even if you think they'll hurt you they won't because they'll know you're choosing the right. It also means that most likely when you choose the right against to other people choosing the wrong there will be followers who will also choose the right. Then people will follow those others that also decided to choose the right. An example of this would be during the time of Hitler's reign. Since he had so much power people that that people who didn't have colored eyes or blonde hair would have to die. Once Hitler commit suicide, light struck. People weren't afraid of saying how Hitler's action were wrong. That is why Germany is now the lovely place we know today.
