People who warn of danger are seldom popular. People want feel good messages. We've had enough doom and gloom. So they come as though they are sincere and sit before you listening. You are very entertaining to them, like someone who sings lovely songs with a beautiful voice or plays well on an instrument.
Irresponsible people hate responsible words and reject the responsible messenger.
Being a watchman can be a lonely heartbreaking role to fulfill. Nevertheless, I'm stuck with the realization that light and knowledge carry a high degree of responsibility. I further understand that my success as a watchman is determined by the clarity of my warning of danger and not your response. Third I am grateful that with every warning there is also a message of hope. Last, being marginalized is a small price to pay compared with the glory some people experience because they heeded our warning.
