Do I trust mankind to save itself? The truth is, I don’t know.
After everything I’ve seen, all the fighting, and the chaos around me, I only know what I want to believe: somehow human decency will triumph.
These past few months I’ve faced life-threatening situations. I could have given up many times, but my need to know the truth, to uncover the secrets that others were hiding, and to survive, forced me to keep on going. Most of the time, I tried to keep my values in mind, knowing my actions did not have to harm others.
I held on to my humanity, resisting the urge to abuse power or resources in order to meet my goals. And in the end, I got the job done. But does this mean I have the right to choose for everyone? No. Because it isn’t up to me.
Ordinary men and women will have to decide together what course mankind should take. The kind of people who, time and time again, have picked and chosen the future in highly particular ways – slowing change when it’s negative, speeding it up when it’s good.
Can they do it again? I don’t know. But I do know I’m not letting anyone in this station, including myself, stand in their way.
