Hmm, I’d say this is a problem that Jesus, the Rastafarians, the Amish and your own tradition grappled with.
Jesus was in the world, but not of the world.
Rastafarians step one foot at a time out of Babylon.
The Amish have removed themselves for the most part, but they are still somewhat free riders on the greater society.
Jews celebrate the sabbath. In this way, 6 days a week they are of the world, and can share in its prosperity, but one day is reserved for keeping the traditions.
