Is it sometimes better to give up, or should you always keep trying no matter what?

giving up is, sometimes... giving yourself more chances at something much better, and different... and I do like that approach

I wasted years of my life chasing after one hopeless cause after another. At least I have some peace of mind knowing I tried my best. The world is just a cruel place

I used to never give up when I was younger, and I bit my ass big time.

Now I look at the situation and if it's really hopeless, I walk away from it.

yes. i had a situation recently. i didn't want to give up but it didn't make sense to try anymore. i was mad but once i cooled down it was easier to let it go and see reason.

There is a time for a "tactical retreat" or "strategic withdrawal", meaning there are times one should rethink their direction or approach to a given issue.
