Nathan never judged people by the color of their skin, only by their actions.
This is the kind of heavy-handed reminder we constantly get in this book. The author keeps telling us how the good guys are indeed the good guys. They feel bad about every villain they shoot, every bone they break in the quest of freedom, every conscientious thought the heroes have is underlined and hammered home till the slowest reader gets it three times over.
Lee Child did the "show, don't tell" right. We knew Reacher would stop to help a dog in trouble. We didn't have to be told "He always stopped to help a dog".
“There is an odd psychology amongst those who inherit great wealth, because deep down inside, they realize that they did nothing to earn it, that it really was just a matter of luck, and yet how can it be that they are not special? My father suffers from this malady. “I have all this,” the thinking goes, “ergo I must be somehow superior.” This leads to a constant internal battle to maintain the false narrative of somehow “deserving” all these riches, of being “worthy.” You push away the obvious truth—that fate and happenstance have more to do with your lot in life than your “brilliance” or “work ethic”—so as not to shatter your self-created myth.”

“away in a cabinet somewhere deep in our cranium. Memories are something we reconstruct and piece together. They are fragments we manufacture to create what we think occurred or even simply hope to be true. In short, our memories are rarely accurate. They are biased reenactments. Shorter still: We all see what we want to see.”

“We are all masters of self-rationalization. We all seek ways to justify our narrative. We all twist that narrative to make ourselves more sympathetic. You do it too. If you are reading this, you were born in the top one percent of history’s population, no question about it. You’ve experienced luxuries that painfully few people in the history of mankind could have even imagined. Yet instead of appreciating that, instead of doing more to help those beneath us, we attack those who got even luckier for not doing enough.”
