True...there is no imitating the feeling of your dignity remaining intact, seriously.
If you abandon your morals and go with the crowd, then you'll have a feeling of community on the surface, but a deep lack of meaning inside of you. Once you're cast out or get sick or wither of old age, you experience hell in the form of it being clearly obvious that nobody cares about you and you don't even have your own pride to keep you company. Just a rotting piece of flesh.
On the other hand, no matter how sick you are or how much you're cast out or how much you fail to accomplish your goals, as long as you did what you believed was right, you have the "cloud". You're connected to heaven, you know you're a good man and you can take pride in your existence. Your memories are like an autobiography of a respectable man, even if nobody else reads it.
