"I can't do this, Sam", says Frodo
Sam replies, "I know, its's all wrong, by rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo . Once that really mattered, full of darkness and danger they were. Sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how can the ending be happy? How can the world go back to the way it was when so much has happened. But in the end, its only a passing thing, the shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those are the stories that stay with you, that meant something, even if you are too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand . I know now , folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't . They kept going because they were all holding on to something. "
"What are we holding onto, Sam?"
"There is something good in this world and its worth fighting for."
This is one of my favorite lines from the movie adaptation of Tolkien's Lord of the rings - The two towers. Darkness has passed. I am no longer paranoid. So I update my blog again, though not that frequent.
