One and God make a majority.

RESILIENCE
Being outnumbered is not the same as being wrong. Counting heads is how groups decide, but it is not how truth gets settled, and a person standing alone with something real behind them is not in a weak position simply because no one has joined yet. Whether you call that backing conscience, or reality, or something larger, the effect is the same: the count stops being the thing that decides you.
If you hold a view that nobody around you shares, separate two questions. Is this unpopular, or is it mistaken? Only the second one should change your mind.
Where would you stand alone if nobody joined you?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
