Being Right Hurts: A Satirical Look at Righteousness and Loneliness

A man sits alone on the scale of justice—tilted by his own weight of being 100% right.
This hand-drawn cartoon dives into the irony of moral perfectionism, where being “correct” doesn’t save you from suffering—it often isolates you.
If you’ve ever felt burdened by high standards or exhausted by your own principles, this piece speaks (and laughs) with you.

💬 “Being right won’t always save you. Sometimes, it just leaves you sitting alone—on a tilted scale no one else wants to touch.”
