Quixotism

Quixotism refers to the idealistic and impractical pursuit of noble dreams or heroic deeds, often drawn from the character Don Quixote in Miguel de Cervantes' novel. This term describes a tendency to see the world through a lens of romanticism, embracing ideals that may be unrealistic or unattainable. Quixotism embodies the spirit of fighting for lofty causes or defending chivalrous values, even when faced with the absurdity or challenges of reality. While it can be inspiring, it may also lead to disillusionment when aspirations clash with the practicalities of life.
