hey! i’m going to be dead in a few hours, so before i go, let’s have this out. you and me, once and for all. “winning?“ is that what you think it’s about? i’m not trying to “win”. i’m not doing this because i want to beat someone — or because i hate someone, or because i want to blame someone. it’s not because it’s fun. god knows it’s not because it’s easy. It’s not even because it works because it hardly ever does. i do what i do because it’s right! because it’s decent! and above all, it’s kind! It’s just that. just kind. if i run away today, good people will die. if i stand and fight, some of them might live — maybe not many, maybe not for long. hey — maybe there’s no point in any of this, at all, but it’s the best i can do, so i’m going to do it — and i will stand here doing it until it kills me. — you’re going to die, too —someday. when will that be? have you thought about it? what would you die for? who i am is where i stand. where i stand is where i fall. stand with me. these people are terrified. maybe we can help a little. why not, just at the end, just be kind?
