I am moved by your choice of our future over yours, the world over
yourself. You know what few do nowadays: that the self is not the same
as self-interest. You are someone who is smart enough, idealistic
enough, bold enough to know that living with yourself in a system of
utter corruption would destroy that self as an ideal, as something worth
being. Doing what you’ve done, on the other hand, would give you a self you could live with, even if it gave you nowhere to live or no life. Which is to say, you have become a hero.
