A person needs at intervals to separate himself from family and companions and go to new places. He must go without his familiars in order to be open to influences to change.
There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval.
I know that many of you do wear such a cross of Christ not in any ostentatious way not in a way that might harm you at your work or recreation but a simple indication that you value the role of Jesus Christ in the history of the world that you are trying to live by Christ's standards in your own daily life.
