Trying to do the right thing - it doesn't grant omniscience. Or victory. It doesn't guarantee anything.
It doesn't have to be perfect. We all fall short of our ideals and make mistakes.
It's just better than the alternative of not trying at all. Because not caring about anything but survival's an empty life, I know I don't want to go back to. And the rush of power's just a temporary fix for that same emptiness.
