To paraphrase Schopenhauer, if everyone agrees with what you say, if everyone supports your actions, if everyone appreciates your stance, however indeed your words or actions obviously do not address any real issues, do not appeal to consciences of people, then your words and actions in reality mean nothing. So, in every period of history, being able to stand up for the right is a virtue, a privilege, a superiority, and a blessing that belongs not to everyone, but only to the wise people.
