Your conscience doesn’t need a majority vote. It just needs you to listen.

A vote does not make something right; it tells you what is popular in one room on one day. The quiet, uncomfortable read you get when something is off is real information, and it usually arrives before you can explain it. The hard part is that acting on it leaves you standing alone for a while.

When that feeling shows up, give it thirty seconds instead of arguing it away. Ask what you would do if nobody ever found out either way. Then do the small version of that, which is often just not laughing along.
