"Right is right"

"Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it."

                                                         - William Penn

I believe this quote means that even if your friends or the other person is doing wrong it doesn't make it right. There are some things everyone does. Even though everyone does them, it doesn't make them right. Some people believe that just because the crowd goes with one thing it's right. That's not the case at all. Some people (bystanders specifically) will often do wrong as well if it means that they will be able to fit in with the majority of people and their actions. There are many examples of this. But one in particular stands out to me. Most people know about Hitler. Hitler thought it was right to kill jews and people who didn't have blonde hair and blue or green eyes. He had strong followers that also agreed with "purifying the gene pool", Hitler had the rich, and army, scientists. Yet there were people who rebelled and were often killed for it. That just goes to show that even in the face of death there were people who would choose the right no matter what.
