I have to recognized that we- human beings – can’t act as the dictates of reason and conscience in “our fear of being lonely or ostracized‚ or facing other unpleasant consequences”‚ but it does not mean that we do not have the option. It does not mean that we always are forced to choose obedience if may not like the choices we face.
