In the margin next to it, I wrote, “I will carry the banner of justice alone.”
I knew that my real struggle was only beginning. Whatever circumstances I found myself in, I would fight resolutely. Even if I was alone.
I firmly resolved in the depths of my being that I would triumph — in the true spirit of the oneness of mentor and disciple."
