Journal 9

When in a group, if you have a dissenting opinion, it is easier to go along with what everyone else thinks than to speak up. To speak your mind means to say that you think what the majority of the group says is wrong. This makes speaking your mind a difficult thing to do. So, many people end up just going along with the rest of the group when they are doing terrible things because they are afraid to speak up. They could be afraid of being made fun of. Or worse, they could be afraid the group might turn against them.
