When Jesus came as a stranger, the blessed ones: invited him in, nourished him, took care of him, and visited him in jail.
Come, you who are Blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me....I tell you the truth, whatever you did for the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.
Matthew 25: 34-40
Believing that others are right is
to private acceptance and as conforming without believing is to public
compliance. Public compliance involves a change in behavior including the
public expression of opinions that is not accompanied by an actual change in
one’s private opinion. Thus, compliance represents what people do or say in
public, even though they believe something different in private. A driver might
follow the speed limit or wear a tie which is a behavior to conform to social
norms even though we may not necessarily believe that it is appropriate to do
so which is opinion. However, behaviors that are formerly executed out of a
desire to be accepted which is normative conformity may frequently produce
changes in beliefs to match them and the result becomes private acceptance
which is for instance a child who begins smoking to please his friends but soon
convinces himself that it is the right thing to do or a prisoner of war who
eventually accepts the political beliefs of his captor.

The wind blowing was causing the waves to rise higher and become larger. Because of this, the buoys are now, or should be moving up and down with the waves, for the waves are carrying the buoys as they move.
