Of course, the world says to experience everything. Remember what Paul said, though. It’s okay to do things, but not all things would help him. The world laughs at the idea of abstaining from anything. The world also sees Jesus dying for our sins on the cross as foolishness. The idea that God would love us, that we are sinners, accountable to God, and that God took the punishment for our sins, is foolish to them.
The reason is the same for both, the world laughing at it and seeing it as foolish. The world’s system says that people are in control of everything, instead of God.
God will have the last laugh, though. He promises to have His enemies “in derision.” (Psalm 2:4, etc.) He will be victorious over evil one day.
In the meantime, you should should be cheerful, and accept that some will not like what you do. Because, some of them may see your attitude, and decide they want to learn about Jesus. They might get saved, and changed on the inside. Everyone who has been in church for a while remembers Paul being converted on the road to Damascus, when Jesus appeared to Paul. But, they don’t always remember Stephen’s great testimony, when he refused to hate those who were killing him. Paul was there. He consented to Stephen’s death. And, Paul probably wondered just how Stephen could be so joyful.
It won’t always be easy. But, God will give you peace when you need it. Just remember, you have Heavenly rewards awaiting.
