"Avant de pouvoir vivre avec les autres, je dois d'abord vivre avec moi-même. La seule chose qui ne se plie pas à la règle de la majorité, c'est la conscience d'une personne."
— Atticus Finch
Simplified Meaning:
Each person needs to feel good about themselves before they can truly connect with others. Imagine you are part of a group of friends who all decide to do something you know is wrong, like cheating on a test. Even if everyone agrees to do it, your inner sense of right and wrong tells you it's not okay. This inner feeling, called your conscience, is not influenced by what the majority thinks. It's like an inner voice guiding you to do the right thing. By listening to this voice and staying true to yourself, you live honestly and can build better, more genuine relationships with others. So, trust your own values and principles even if they go against the crowd.
