Welcome to my world
Won't you come on in?
Miracles, I guess
Still happen now and then
Step into my heart
Leave your cares behind
Welcome to my world
Built with you in mind
Knock and the door will open
Seek and you will find
Ask and you'll be given
The key to this world of mine
I'll be waiting here
With my arms unfurled
Waiting just for you
Welcome to my world
Waiting just for you
Welcome to my world
As sung by: Jim Reeves
Songwriters: John Hathcock / Ray Winkler
Just looking at these lyrics, one could imagine them to have an entirely different meaning if they were uttered by a narcissist. But they’re sung as and meant to by a song of love and an invitation to join one in their small space in the universe.
What happens in a person (or people) that causes them to be incapable of seeing things beyond their own selfish needs/beliefs? We have a political party led by people incapable of feeling empathy. Incapable of caring about anything beyond their personal ideals. They seek power. Power for the sake of power and the ability to punish. Punish who? I doubt even they know.
I studied enough psychology (almost 30 hours) to understand that people can be broken, but broken doesn’t explain this. These people are beyond broken. Evil is the only answer. Throughout history we have periods where people who are evil take power. Seldom do we have the opportunity to stop them. But today we do. However, it requires work.
