Exodus 23 v. 2 "You shall not follow a majority in wrongdoing"; In the attempt to appear, or be accepted We all follow the Media, Peer pressure, and opinions of Our society, despite that Our Goal is to injure, maim, or hurt others, Example: Jail as a Punishment, though after jail we all continue to punish because people have made mistakes. We all need to examine Our own mistakes, and help others to grow, and achieve their own goals. examine how often You follow the opinions of the Majority, rather than investigate for yourself.

We follow the opinions of Society because we all naturally want to gain acceptance. We don't want to be viewed as outsiders. There have been controlled scientific studies that show people will change their answer to a question if the majority answers the opposite. In fact, this is what the Military uses for discipline. It's called uniformity but I call it comformity......keep thinking outside the box.

It truly is my weakness though I don't allow it to rule and control me, once I here corruptional/adultrous record about a person, I normally avoid him.
Our biggest problem is fear of lonliness&outcast, once you are seen with a corrupt person: you are assumed to be "corrupt".
As you raised I believe my best option in this is to love everyone for what he is: until he becomes his perfect person or not. The truth really sets us free if we hear and welcome the precise truth and only it! Well lets face our weaknesses be true to ourselves individually so that our lives may be a healing to our society and neighbours. Nothing is more common in the world than favouritism, and we all of us so easily form prejudices either for or against our brethren in Christ, also generally."Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15 and "He that loveth not his brother abideth in death" (1 John 3: 14). So now we discover that life, light and love all go together; and in the very nature of things they act as tests, the one upon the other. The one who loves his brother manifests the life, according to 1 John 3. Here the point is that he abides in the light.

As a social outcast I do not follow the opinions of the herd which is thundering towards that cliff over there. There are advantages to being a misfit for God.

It's human nature to go with the majority.. Numerous studies have been done on the subject

i'm supposing that for the duration of this context, you propose of mad as in "loopy". in actual fact, i think of that the superb people, the main innovative and the main despised are the maddest people. yet that would not cause them to undesirable. in fact, i detect extra interest in people who're mad than uninteresting widely used people who stick to the strains of life whilst they might bounce off the path and walk beside it.
