" My aunts warned me of this many times—be wary of the sway of others, they told me. Find your own path and stay upon it. Don’t allow yourself to be pulled in another direction, even if you must walk alone. “Do the most good,” is their favorite saying. The most good. I like that, because it allows for, well, some of the not-so-good too. Sometimes a bit of that is necessary. "
