I know. My entire family took the vaccine when I warned them against it. It is hard to lose those close to you, but then you realize how close are others that you never met in person...

Never lose hope, no matter how many close people believe in a lie, still stand for the truth. It pays off, I can promise you that. Let the willfully ignorant be willfully ignorant, it is their choice, you said it correctly. As long as you continue to hope, hope is never lost. There's one question at this stage, would you do the right thing even if no one else believes in it, or not?

It is hard, yes. But the soft ones don't deserve the fruits of the hard ones, wouldn't you agree? Don't ask for an easy life, ask to endure a hard one, and you will reap the fruits of it. A man is not great when he passes on the easy path, but he becomes great when reaches the end of the hard path. So would you wish yourself an easy path or a hard path?
