"If mankind had not embedded itself, with the momentum of centuries and the passion of habit, in the "idée fixe" that a tyrant is one man, they would easily understand that to be persecuted by the masses is the most grievous of all, because the masses are the sum of the individuals, so that each individual makes his little contribution, while he does not realise how great it becomes when all of them do it. "
- Søren Kierkegaard, "The Journals of Søren Kierkegaard, ed. A. Dru, (London:Fontana Books, 1958), p. 124.
remember, guys, that no matter how many people seem to be against you, you will always have Jesus. also, remember the power that you hold when you choose to set yourself apart from your peers, to step out and stand up for your beliefs.

Good point, Hannah. It's hard to do that too... (standing up for what you believe when no one else is). But we keep on standing, don't we?
