The depression he must have felt as he distanced himself from his wife seems almost unbearable. Hearing his story about that struggle in making the decision to unmask the mass surveillance program is an emotional journey. It’s something I hope most of us cannot imagine.
One of the things that I have always asked about his story is how he could walk away from his wife and family like that. Reading the story of Edward Snowden from his own words is like stepping behind the scenes into an almost completely opposite scene from what is widely known and accepted. “He’s the guy that defected to Russia, right?” Well…kind of, but not really. Some people associate his name with the word “traitor” because that’s exactly the narrative painted by our government and media.
He’s one of the most polarizing characters of the past decade. Almost everyone knows the name Edward Snowden by now.
