maybe I haven't accepted the cold harsh realities of the world, but just because harsh realities exist doesn't mean people should turn a blind eye and not attempt to make any change, no?

An interesting question.
Is that not the same drive that makes Fundamentalist Christians and Fanatical Muslims do the things that they do? I'm thinking of this in parallel to abortion, western lifestyle, polyamory, music, dance, hedonistic living, et. al.
At some point there is live and let live. You present your case and then it is up to the individual to decide what they want to do. If they do nothing with the new information that is also their choice.
I think that the only thing you have to accept is that you've made the attempt at education as best as you can and not forced someone to change a lifestyle that they find palatable to themselves and can sleep at night.
