This world, in it’s current state, is not our home.
It's alarming sometimes when we "feel at home" instead of feeling like a foreigner. There are some things we and our family do that alienates us from the rest of the world, even from our closest relatives. We must not re-assimilate or be lazy in our unlearning... we must occupy our time seeking the ancient paths.
We all must stay strong in our faith and no get lazy as you said! Turning back would be easy but "the cross before me, the world behind me!"
