Explanation:
Interesting in<em> “Speech to the Second Virginia Convention”</em> by Patrick Henry we note his use of figurative language to buttress his point and to compel his listening audience. He said emphatically, <em>"We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts." </em>
Meanwhile, Ellen Sirleaf Johnson uses similar figurative language used by Henry, depicting the inaction of the world's government as a form of keep silent. She said,
<em>"the call for the reform of the United Nations...rings louder in its definite silence.. we urge the nations of the world...to bring this long silence to an end."</em>

Answer:
No, you will face criticism, judgement, and backlash.
Explanation:
For example, in Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Fredrick Nietzche, Zarathustra descends from the cave after ten years of isolation to give his newfound enlightenment to the people. He tells them that the Earth's meaning is the overman or Ubermensch (one willing to risk all to enhance humanity). The overman is free from all the prejudices and moralities of human society and creates his conditions and purpose. The people rejected him, laughed at him, and, overall, the message went over their heads. They wish to continue their life of mundane mediocrisy. He chooses not to persuade the crowd, but rather to speak to those interested in separating themselves from the herd.
As you can see, the people rejected a new idea. This is a universal concept dating to stories of prophets preaching their book to people.
The overman is one who can endure the backlash from society and persist in his truth.
Stay safe (:
