Always worthwhile to pull back and see the past and present in a bigger picture than our own lifetime. Just looking around at this point in time it's easy to think that there's no hope and no reason to look for it. God has always known what would happen at this time in history. He's not surprised by it. He's not afraid of the sociopaths. And He, not the sociopaths, is still in control.
All time exists simultaneously. Therefore, all events are fixed and knowable in advance as well as during and after the fact of their apparent happening.
Even so, the knowledge of any event depends on our ability to enter into the plane or moment of that event. Therefore, knowledge of events outside of conventional memory and perception depends on our ability to transcend the body-mind in its present space-time state or configuration, or definition. And true knowledge of what is not contained in the present space-time limits of our experience depends on self-surrender, deep consciousness, ecstasy or self-transcendence, and resort to that Condition of Being that transcends all past and present knowledge.
In fact, then, the same requirements exist as a condition of perfect memory, foreknowledge, and total knowledge that exists as the Ultimate Condition of Transcendental Ecstasy. Such is the Paradox or Equation of Reality Itself. The same Condition pertains at Zero, Everything, and Everything.
At another level all actions by both individuals and collectives are controlled by the immutable laws of our psycho-physical universe, namely: Every action simultaneously creates an equal and opposite reaction which will inevitably create/cause an event/manifestation of one kind or another either in present time or somewhere in the future (maybe even decades or even centuries hence). Which is to say that every body and all collectives inevitably get or create their own immutable Karmic come-uppance or destiny.
Things are also complicated by the fact that manifestation is essentially fractal in nature
At a more mundane check out the book by Jeremy Rifkin titled Time Wars The Primary Conflict in Human History. And the book by Ira Chernus titled Monsters To Destroy - The Neoconservatives War On Terror and Sin
Speaking of narcissistic sociopaths Donald Trump fits that definition perfectly. Me, me, me. me is his entire message!
He most probably has never done and other-serving thing/gesture in his entire life
The current Prime Minister of Israel fits that definition too.
