Man Tears, I have experienced the exact same scenario in my life, and surely have many others who saw this scene.  

 

It is an intensely bitter-sweet feeling, it is an intensely felt defeat and yet also a small victory. A traumatic departure.

 

A defeat as one has struggled for so long and made the most terrible sacrifices but also a victory as one has performed their maximum, honorable effort despite getting crushed by outside circumstances beyond one's control. And a small consolation as others have witnessed and acknowledged such efforts.

 

"Jefferson: I've offered the President my resignation.

 

I cannot descend daily into the arena

 

to suffer martyrdom on every conflict..

 

Adams: We have been the best of partners..  

 

Let us descend together!  Let us fight together!..

 

Jefferson: My departure will be a great relief to me,

 

And no great loss to the public.

 

Adams: It will be a great loss to me.."

Consumerism is the perfection of slavery

We buy things we don't need, with money we don't have, to impress people we don't like

Society is determined by those that act on their beliefs, and not by those that don't

To be human is to be a complex, multi-faceted, individual, who likes to create and love
