Hence the importance of realization also in the sense of doing. Or in other words responsibility. It's the consequence (and also proof) of free choice. After all, why would God restrict "himself"? But as far as I'm concerned, in the face of (palpable prospect of) death (while knowing oneself) it's not that hard to make an effort to be responsible.

As for the nightmare getting worse -- indeed, it seems that a lot of these "trumputins" are lately quite accessible to rational arguments and opinions that don't necessarily square with theirs without immediately jumping to insults or trolling. Almost as if something cracked their entrenched worldviews (on the other hand, "tankies" in general as well as true "trumputin" believers are a completely different can of worms :D But that's another story).
