Rizal tried to imbue his compatriots with his own idealism for he believed that to

people, they must possess high standards of morality, dignity, and spirit of sacrifice.
Unfortunately, his idealism was not shared by certain frivolous countrymen, who
loved wine, women and cards. Rizals leadership declined. Some of his former
admirers, who supported his leadership turned against him because they resented
his interference in their private lives. They became supporters of Del Pilar.
The editorial policy of La Solidaridad under Del Pilars management enchanced the
cleavage between Rizal and Del Pilar.
