"In my life, I've never seen so much bravery. I'm completely stunned."
Yes, conscience-driven bravery.
It serves to remind me, too, that this scenario is played out countless times around the world every day, in remote villages, in steaming cites, in squalid slums, in toxic relationships — anywhere callous, power-drunk, corrupt, conscience-less, ogres and their minions have the upper hand.
It serves to remind me. It steels me. Let's not forget. This is why we live. To speak truth to power.
