"If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it."
-Marcus Aurelius
What Marcus Aurelius is trying to tell is us is to not speak or do anything that is wrong. If someone has started spreading a rumor that you know is not true then do not spread it any further. If you see student walking out of class because of all the things that have been going on and it is wrong them don't do it. Everyone acts differently, they either do the right thing or the wrong they. They could say the truth or say a lie. You must not let others control what you do otherwise it will affect you in unimaginable ways. If you let others tell you what to do or influence you, you could be losing trust with the people you knew before. You could also be showing people that you are someone you truly are not. If someone tells to walk out of class and you do it then you have made a bad decision. The results would conclude in the school calling your parents, you could get expelled, you would get in serious trouble and you would also mess with your school grades and attendance. Now ask yourself, if I made this choice what would my parents do? Would my teachers lose faith that I am a good student? These are only possibilities of what the outcomes could be. You should never speak of anything that is untrue or do anything that is not right. If you heard a rumor and it was not true but you still decided to spread it, what might others think? They may think you are trying to cross the person the rumor is about. Don't spread rumors if you are sure that they are not true and don't let it get to you head.Think of the outcomes before you do the act.
