Being a hero, being brave, is hard. It don’t pay the bills or do much else. The only thing it does get you is peace of mind. And the belief that you made a difference. And it’s that belief, that feeling that has to be good enough because if you expect more… if you’re looking for praise or high fives, ain’t nobody coming. And the hardest part, no matter how principled you’re going to be or how big the damn stand you decide to take, the odds of something actually changing for the better are close to zero.
