The person who stands for nothing will fall for anything, so goes conventional wisdom, but the person who does stand for something--whether it is the refusal to cover for fellow employees who cheat on their time cards, or has the conviction to abide by what he or she believes is right--will soon discover that everybody doesn't appreciate that commitment to decency. It makes them squirm to have such a one in their midst. It's true that people do love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil.
