Storm of persecution is good for you, you act worse towards God than others toward you, just doing your duty will polarize others into loving or hating you, make straight for your goal with head/heart intoxicated with God & don't waste time answering haters, use painful insults as supernatural reminder to detach from creatures, what are suffering/contempt/cross compared to what we actually deserve?
