“To what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in marketplaces and call to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance, we sang a dirge but you did not mourn." (Matthew 11: 16 - 17).
Who can please the world? Nobody. Stop trying. It is far easier to please God than to please the world. God looks at your heart and your goodwill and makes excuses for your weakness. The world is capricious and erratic and expects you to be a winner 100% of the time for 100% of the people. Impossible you would say. So, what do you do? Aim at pleasing God. It is easier and less complicated. At least you have a Manual (Bible) to check what God wants of you.
"To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul,
my God, in you I trust;
do not let me be disgraced;
do not let my enemies gloat over me. No one is disgraced who waits for you, but only those who are treacherous without cause." (Psalm 25: 1 - 3)
