Following the Herd? Don't Go There!

Don’t do the thing everybody else is doing, as though it is okay, even though it is not. If you have already started, it is never too late for you to stop (whether or not you have forever lost good people because of it). But especially if you have NOT done it, do not start now. It is not okay, no matter how many people are doing it. Maybe they are vile or maybe they have an extremely valid reason for it that justifies it (and you do not). If you habitually do the wrong thing, at most, you only have potential for others as a 'convenient asset', nothing more. And that may be generous and/or have you on "thin ice".
