That is very interesting. Yes, there are times when people think they commit to a good cause because of hype. The cause seem so promising that it sounds like joining will make you a hero. However, there are causes that are realized its value in the end. And only in the end when true colors are coming out and people realize that it is not a good cause after all.
I have been in situations when I immediately join "the club" just because people in their seem so cool. However after sometime, I came fo realize that my integeity and values are being sacrificed. I had to back off.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts here. It is indeed something that challenges the mind.
Thank you very much @macoolette.
Yes, that is a very good example of a real-life situation that I am talking about. Sometimes a group or cause has a face value that we look at from the outside, it is welcoming and looks great. Then, just like getting to know people, we find out that there are flaws that were not being advertised.
Just like with people, we can decide to stay and try to alter them, leave or shallow our dignity and become a sheep.

I sometimes hold on and stay with the hope that I can be a catalyst of change. But I also have to watch out if I am really being a catalyst or I am being overwhelmed and becoming like them. My latest experience was the latter so I decided to step out. I am sure there are other options, better ones, out there.

Indeed! Wise choice!
I should write an article about the subject of Catalysts within a social group! It is an interesting social construct and I have often assumed that role within a group myself.

I think that will be an interesting topic. I am not sure which social group you are referring to but I suppose you will post on Steemit too.
