About this listen

In this episode, we explore how the greatest danger to life and spirit does not always come from open cruelty but often from those who cloak themselves in virtue. We trace the roots of malignant narcissism, a twisted form of self-worship that feeds on lies, scapegoating, and moral pride. By unpacking how these people deceive themselves and others, we learn why truth is the sharpest blade against their illusions. This story reminds us that the line between good and evil cuts through every heart and that only by facing our own shadows can we guard against those who hide their darkness behind bright words. From ancient fears to modern politics, this episode sheds light on how to see clearly, speak honestly, and keep the lantern burning against the fog of deception.
