In "Ender in Exile," the character learns the importance of making choices based on a moral compass by asking what a good person would do. This reflective approach leads him to navigate his life's decisions with a sense of ethical consideration. Over time, he discovers a profound truth about human behavior, realizing that relentless pretense can become indistinguishable from genuine goodness.
This revelation highlights a paradox in human nature: when one continuously acts as if they are good, the line between pretense and reality blurs. The concept of hypocrisy can evolve, leading to an eventual acceptance of one's own role in the moral landscape. This understanding forces us to confront the implications of our actions and the authenticity behind them.
