Matthew 5:44-46

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

It's hard to forgive the people who not only curse us and hate us, but also use us and persecute us, especially when we realize it's only because we're on the side of truth.

The Eurythmics released a song called Sweet Dreams in the 1980s-

Many will remember the chorus-
Sweet dreams are made of these.
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
Not everybody will remember these lines-
Now you're standing there tongue-tied
You'd better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
You'll see your problems multiplied
 If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth

This song contained a warning for truth seekers and tried to brainwash them into a policy of self censorship to prevent even more hardships.
