From the day you are first born, your parent’s, your friend’s, every single TV show, book, or movie you could possibly get your hands on tells you that ‘You are special. You are good.

He stays with the CIA believing that for the most part they have good intentions and he can help more people there. But when he does disagree with their methods or beliefs he risks his life to stop them rather than letting
