“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce

“Character disorders: to name just a few of those most familiar, borderline personality disorders; narcissistic, sociopathic, psychopathic, obsessive-compulsive personality. Whether one is a trained clinical therapist, pastoral counselor or practitioner of deliverance and emotional healing, character disordered personalities present one of the greatest challenges. They are typically very intelligent, highly manipulative and pathologically deceptive. To be blunt, they often elude diagnosis, evade and avoid taking responsibility for their issues, and tend to exhaust and aggravate those who try to help them. •”
