Following the crowd is not the way to go, just ask lemmings, strange little arctic rodents who periodically make these migrations that end up with hundreds of them running off a cliff to their deaths. It can be like that with us humans when we go the way everyone else is going even when we know it's wrong. Proverbs 16:25 says There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death. When in doubt do the right thing even if you're doing it alone. Following the crowd can be more toruble than it's worth.
