Are you a target for co-workers or other students to laugh at, to pick on because you won't go along with the crowd?

Do you ever feel like an outcast with your own family?

Have you ever experienced a friend no longer wanting to be your friend because you won't hang out at clubs or curse or participate in other fleshly activities anymore? Have you become too 'boring'?

Have you experienced loss because of your beliefs? Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven!
