its hard loosing friends or some one you can relate to , also I think its important to pursue toward truth and justice even nobody stands with you , that is what Moses did when he entered the Pharoah temple ( yes his brother was there with him) and he declared what is truth and what he believe ( does not think about consequence) . In today world is harder to see the truth with disinformation and misinformation and even harder to stand with it ; i guess follow your heart and you would not be lonely.
