193:4.1 It was in the first [[part]] of [[the Master]]'s [[farewell]] [[message]] to his [[apostles]] that he alluded to the loss of [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] and held up the [[tragic]] [[fate]] of their [[traitorous]] fellow worker as a [[solemn]] warning against the [[dangers]] of [[social]] and fraternal [[isolation]]. It may be helpful to [[believers]], in this and in [[future]] ages, briefly to review the [[causes]] of [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]]'s downfall in the [[light]] of [[the Master]]'s remarks and in view of the accumulated [[enlightenment]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Christianity succeeding centuries].

193:4.2 As we look back upon this [[tragedy]], we [[conceive]] that [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] went wrong, primarily, because he was very markedly an [[isolated]] [[personality]], a personality shut in and away from [[ordinary]] [[social]] [[contacts]]. He [[persistently]] refused to [[confide]] in, or freely fraternize with, his fellow [[apostles]]. But his being an [[isolated]] [[type]] of [[personality]] would not, in and of itself, have wrought such [[mischief]] for [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] had it not been that he also [[failed]] to increase in [[love]] and [[grow]] in [[spiritual]] [[grace]]. And then, as if to make a bad matter worse, he [[persistently]] harbored grudges and fostered such [[psychologic]] [[enemies]] as [[revenge]] and the generalized craving to " get even " with somebody for all his [[disappointments]].
