'how little some things change' .. putting aside his living/social/political environmental adjustments (which will be interesting to see) i'm thinking a phrase around that one may be at least one of Snowden's most haunting thoughts .. how disappointing it will be when he realizes his 'expose's' have not really changed much of anything other than giving people more information about something most suspected anyway .. when he realizes nothing much else really has changed except, somewhat ironically, government and intelligence security arrangements in the US, maybe even in other countries, have been strengthened as a result of what he has done .. 'why did i bother?' could become a nightmare for him .. just a thought .. :)
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
