A speaker uses Tolstoy's idea that wrong stays wrong even when everyone does it. He argues you shouldn't follow the crowd at work, in relationships, or anywhere else when something conflicts with what you actually believe.

Leo Tolstoy said, wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority participate in it. Something like that. I think it's a reminder that if something is happening that we're not okay with, that we don't appreciate or endorse, that even though the majority is doing it, we don't have to either continue to participate in it, or we can try to stand up for what we believe is right and trying to change the circumstance. And I'm not talking about politics here, even though that would be a very easy I'm talking about what happens in the workplace, or what happens in our relationships, or what happens in our friendships. That if something is actually not copacetic for us, then it's okay to make the change. It's okay to address it and try and have things be different and more in line with what your values are.
