“The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience”
— Atticus Finch
Simplified Meaning:
A person's conscience is their sense of right and wrong, and it's something deeply personal that doesn't change just because a lot of people think differently. Think about a situation where everyone in a class decides to cheat on a test because they believe it's the easiest way to get good grades. Even if most students do it, one student might feel in their heart that cheating is wrong and choose not to join them. This student's conscience is guiding them, no matter what the majority decides. Your conscience is like your inner guide, and it won't always agree with what everyone else thinks or does. This teaches us that we should listen to our own morals and values, even if we are the only ones doing so. So, when faced with tough choices, it's important to stay true to our own sense of what's right, rather than just following the crowd.
