### The Conflict Between Personal Grievance and Greater Purpose
* 💔 "But your anger is keeping you from **seeing the bigger picture**, why we **started this thing**."

But your anger is keeping you from seeing the bigger picture, why we started this thing. You told me once, you don't take down a conglomerate by shooting them in the heart because they don't have hearts. You were wrong. [Music] We found their heart.

We robbed it. Finally, it goes down. What am I not seeing? This used to be about safety in the world. I'm making it too personal. You're making this about what they did to Angela. You're letting your feelings cloud your judgment.

My feelings? So it's going on out there. People are already forgetting about 5/9, the cyber bombings. They're buying their equine-discounted stocking stuffers and Christmas hams, and they're gonna forget. And I don't blame them; they're exhausted. I'm exhausted. But we let this go, it'll be back to

business as usual for Whiterose and her friends. And when she gets away with this, the worst of this gets so... [Music] My feelings? Done with the therapy sessions. [Music] This is all I'm focused on. [Music] You... you...
