Have you ever wondered when it is time to stop “tilting at windmills?” If that reference does not mean anything to you, it refers to a literary character, Don Quixote, who fought windmills with his lance, because he thought they were his adversaries. So my questions still stands – when is it time or at what age should you stop “tilting at windmills?”
I have always, since a young girl, tried to right wrongs as best as I could. I have been known to take on opponents to solve all types of problems. I am wondering if all of this trying to right wrongs might have become passé now as I have gotten to a very old age, and it does not appear that others think as I do.
As I look around, I do not see many people doing what I think needs to be done. I guess I am truly out-of-date now. Some of my hopes and dreams for the future have failed while others have succeeded. Maybe it is time for me to put away my lance and accept what is. That will be very hard for me, though, because deep within me there still lives that hope for change.
