If you have something to say, say it, and stand by it with your last breath. Doctors save lives, and they have family, yet they don’t hide behind anonymity. Soldiers and cops defend lives, and they have family, yet they don’t hide behind anonymity. Scientists save the world, and they have family, yet they don’t hide behind anonymity. Then what makes a vigilante so special that they have to keep their identity a secret!
You don’t need a secret identity to serve the
world. You just need to stand up with
accountability against the most distressing
troubles faced by society, and your very name
will turn into an immortal symbol, that will send
a shockwave of courage and inspiration through
countless generations to come.”
