This situation is actually part of a much larger issue, that being the difference between people who are more awake and aware of the World, such as the OP, versus people still stuck in the illusory world of materialism and all of the fakery.

Having said that, I have abandoned relatives whom have no earthly clue what is going on in this World, simply because I have nothing in common with them.

They want to talk about religion. I want to talk about spirituality.

They want to talk about politics. I have no time for that dog-and-pony show run by the Predators That Be.

They want to talk about the recovering economy. I don't have the energy to educate them about a failed monetary system.

So, I guess I've made myself an outcast in their eyes, which is fine with me. I prefer solitude and peace and quiet to living their illusion. I pulled back that curtain a few years ago.

The good news is that 2013 may very well be the year of transition, where the wheat gets separated from the chaff. All signs are pointing to exactly that.
