Part of me refuses to accept this. I see the potential in others. I know they can turn things around. But the logical part of me knows Russell is right. I know that, ultimately, I will have to give up on these people. And that fills me with sadness.

Everybody can't go. This is the hardest lesson. You'll spend years trying to bring people with you. Family. Friends. Teammates. People you love and you respect. You want to set them free. You'll share what you've learned. Show them what you've built. Explain how you escaped. But not everyone will follow. Some are too comfortable in their chains. They can't see the cage they're in. They would rather complain about the system than leave it. Some don't want the responsibility that comes with freedom. They will choose familiar suffering over unfamiliar possibility. The path to freedom is always narrow. The crowd is always going the other direction. The job isn't to drag people to freedom. Your job is to be free yourself. Show them what's possible. To leave the door open. But not everybody will walk through it. And everybody can't go.
