Those momentous decisions will change their perspective from there out, but "there's still time to change the road you're on"; it just becomes less likely as we traverse either tail of the bell curve of human spiritual potential. As such, the wicked tend to become more so, more confident in their path through the resulting delusions borne of their having chosen selfishness over selflessness, lies over truth, hatred over love, etc. Like the infospace of our computer networks, there are also malicious actors acting upon our psyche to deflect us from our happiness, right within our headspace and heartspace.
Converse to the dark path, the person who enters the door that leads to the Path of Love experiences such a joy in the transformations that commence that it is unlikely for that person to reenter the ignorance of their previous life from before crossing that threshold. It is not that our intrinsic negative gravity via human weakness suddenly ceases resisting our efforts to improve; it a slog, for sure, filled with moments that build humility, which is as necessary a tool on the spiritual path as it is on the journey to becoming one of Dunning-Kruger's true experts.
Along the way, as well, we regularly gain karma from the relentless slings and arrows of the committed narcisists, whose "master" demands not just their continued ignorance of the benefits and possibility of Love, but to actively deny or even fight it, lest they be swayed by our loving kindness, wisdom, inner peace, and happiness. That is why the "woke" are such a threat to the evil-minded buffoons of the world.
