Confucius once wrote that 'seeing the right thing and not doing it is cowardly'. This is still true today. But you are right that the life of a coward is easier

Living a virtuous life is always 'hard mode'; if it were not, would we ever have bothered to identify virtue?

- SnacksOnAPlane 12y agoSometimes doing the wrong thing (or at least "not the right thing") allows you to do a much bigger right thing in the end. For example, Bill Gates. We all hated on Microsoft in the 90s. But Gates has become an amazingly generous humanitarian, which he couldn't have done if he donated all his money to charity in the beginning and didn't focus on ruthlessly building his company.
