That comes from a life well lived. And the older we get, we realize how hard it is to change anything. I was politically active in my 20's and 30's and saw how they squeeze the frogs. (or the lobsters)
Some people devote their lives to a cause, and some become martyrs. There will always be someone who steps in to take your place when you move aside. It doesn't mean we can't still contribute in other ways.
I have a lady friend in her 60's who dresses in black and meets with other ladies her age dressed in black that stand on the highway by their courthouse on the highway every week with signs saying "NO TORTURE".
And that surprises me, because she's the quiet, shrinking-violet type, yet she still has a voice. I'm very proud of her. You wouldn't catch me doing that.
