They can do it and get everything they want; you can persist and live your Life, not the unstable ways they taught you.
The waves can't rip Good apart, tear Friendship apart from you, make you go back and stop you from doing what you really feel, because you can't take it. You love another Life and you don't believe in saving a selfish life. You know its cross is a lie; they can seek the "pleasure", and you can leave them behind.
Let them suffer to get and keep their false things; you do it for the Truth.
Face the hostile waves boldly.
