-There are wicked people who work very hard to eradicate themselves from any connection to G-D and his torah.
-For even though a personn is wicked he still has some good in him, since he belongs to the nation of Yisroel.
-This little good confuses them; it sometimes brings them feelings of repentance or fear of judgment.
-Due to this, they can never really enjoy the pleasure received from their sins. They therefore desire and work hard to attain a state where they can reach complete apostasy. They wish to reach a point where all search for truth will be totally nullified.
-This takes much work, they work on this for many years, may the merciful one save us.
-Those that finally make it to this point normally die.
