Awareness is corrective. Awareness can only exist as a perfect thing. It cannot exist if it is not perfect. It can be corrupted, which is what sin does, but it then is not awareness. In other words, corrupting it destroys it, which is why it is a perfect thing.
Corrupted persons lack awareness, because their awareness gets corrupted.
What this means is that the most abstract things, which most easily escape awareness, are the most inclined to be corrupted. Moral concepts are abstract, which causes their corruption to get quite entrenched. Power is viewed as good by corrupted persons, because they need it to overwhelm their victims. They assume that morality is bad, because it is a threat to their power.
