This is an excellent observation! Legitimate self-awareness would lead one to surround oneself with people like Nathan, who spoke truth to David's abuse of power, and whose moral compass pointed to heaven. As a student of history, I have always been fascinated by the connection between Roy Cohn and Donald Trump, particularly since Cohn displayed and honed his skills in the service of Senator McCarthy and his campaign of intimidation and lies. The thread between these demagogues was woven by one man.
Absolutely! Cohn was both an enabler and a mentor to Trump, and he had his own complex reasons for playing that part. I totally agree with your comment on Nathan: a mark of virtue is surrounding yourself with people who are also committed to upholding virtue, even when it means speaking truth in love.
