When you lose the battle you either back away with grace and live to fight another day or you whack your head against the wall and continue to fight what is not only a losing battle but a lost battle.
One of life's greatest lessons is that sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. It doesn't mean you give up but only that your path will take another course. There will never be a time we run out of worthwhile battles to fight because this is a world in turmoil. There are wars all over the world based on greed and ego. One of the biggest wars still being waged in our own country is that of equality for women. We've come a long way, baby, but we still have miles to go.
I won't live long enough to see full equality but it will come. As each generation of women is strengthened by the last, there will come a day when our own generation will be laughed at as prehistoric for the way in which we have held women down. I'm sure this will create problems of it's own because human beings are unpredictable critters.
Anyway, one battle lost is not the end of the war.
