    That's it . I am 70 and a recovered addict. 25 years and I just got a letter of permission from the ministry of education to teach high school without a degree. I teach thinking with the hands and feet . I too have many quixotic fantasies and now have an outlet. I am told I am a natural teacher and I finally believe I have the potential for a legacy that touches me immensly. The young are really the audience I have strove to find and my conteporaries are jaded and nihilistic . The trap of old age is terrifying as the voice diminishes and that is the malaise I believe is encouraging the awful political culture we are in. May there be gifts in old age , there must be.

    The end of this lecture is unbelievably profound. It sure seems that with the inconsistencies, but essential need, of both love and reason there really can be no seamless harmony.

    I also came to the same conclusion as well. That the two highest values of my heart were "Truth and Love" and were the center of my internal conflicts. Strangely enough if you ask others you will sometimes get a different answer. "Courage and Sacrifice" for example. Its amazing how you can see the principles reflected in peoples actions even when they are not fully aware.

      Not intended for a 12-year-old. In Spanish speaking countries they do with Don Quixote the same they do in Italy with Dante's Divine Comedy; they force feed it to the unwilling pre teenagers who are not yet able to digest it. Some just hate them both for life after that.

    That's a jack in the box with profundity exploding from it rather than just a can of worms!
    This whole summary and examination is great but the latter parts relating to love and reason, useful illusions and/intertwined with/versus rationality, with the various examples to illustrate, are brilliant.
    - and perhaps the Balsam of Fierabras is an *overdose* of reason.

    for some reason I always thought Cervantes dedicate his book to Don Diego de Zuniga, that was in the Inquisition 2X once Under Magic & Sorcery ,about Doctor Eugenio Torralva who had a good angel Zequel that took him up into air/space he was so close to the moon he felt could touch it,
    then for his translation on Job in the bible. He wrote in latin under Jacobus Lopis Stunica
