Right is hard. Incredibly so.

Quote from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

I wrestled with my own resolution: I wanted to be weak that I might avoid the awful passage of further suffering I saw laid out for me; and Conscience, turned tyrant, held Passion by the throat, told her tauntingly, she had yet but dipped her dainty foot in the slough, and swore that with that arm of iron he would thrust her down to unsounded depths of agony.

“Let me be torn away,” then I cried. “Let another help me!”

“No; you shall tear yourself away, none shall help you: you shall yourself pluck out your right eye; yourself cut off your right hand: your heart shall be the victim, and you the priest to transfix it.”

For some people who live in places where no support system exists, where wrong is the norm and diverging is a crime; doing what is right can be a painful fight, everyday of their lives. Take heart, when it ends, we stand victors.
