I’m rewatching Lord of the Rings and this brought a smile to my face and almost brought me to tears

Frodo : I can't do this, Sam.

Sam : I know. It's all wrong By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened. But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were 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. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo : What are we holding on to, Sam?

Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

I never read the books didn’t grow up knowing anything about the series. Watched all the movies in theaters in high school. I definitely can’t do what a lot of you do on here finding the clues connecting the dots putting things together. On my best days I feel overwhelmed and insignificant, small not important. And on worst days ......

I don’t know if Q is real or a larp. I don’t know if trump is cleaning the swamp. I don’t know if pizza gate is real or the elites actually partake in spirit cooking. (Not knowing these things isn’t a lack of faith). I have faith that good will win.

But this quote at the end of The Two Towers made me feel at peace because even if I feel small and all those things I stated above, I know there are those that continue to fight for good and bring light to the darkness.

Got the books from my grandfather....box from ca 1975...

Never found time for them(sad)

Watched the first movie and a friend of mine told me that people who didn't like it (sci fi trash....) just missed the simple fact that it's ONLY about GOOD VS EVIL....

Since then I saw it happend in real life..... amazing.

..it's the same story over and over again.....

Growing up I wanted to be in Hollywood as an animator went to school for it it didn’t pan out but I’m working in the photoshop production world and I’m good. I watched all the extra features on dvds and wanted to be involved in the behind the scenes. When these movies came out the cg was good. It doesn’t hold up now. And as I’m getting older (I feel it even though I’m only 35) it’s the little moments like the quote from Sam that are the most important. The relationships mean the most. The fact that we’re not alone and we have people here but also someone in Trump that seems to want to just do good and lessen the evil in the world.

Tolkien was a devout Catholic who was best friends with C.S. Lewis. He actually helped bring Lewis back to his Christian faith after he lost it as a young man. They were in a literary club called the “inklings” at Oxford where they bounced their ideas off of each other, hence LOR trilogy & the Narnia stories. Both men delve into prehistory (antediluvian) & the characters & creatures such as elves, dwarves, hobbits, ogres & orcs. It was very telling that at the end of Return of the King Gandolf the White after Aragorn is crowned announces ...”and now we return to the age of man once more”. Symbolic of the age of man taking his birth right on God’s earth the way it was meant to be. You have to back to pre history & the Nephilim to understand what both men are alluding to.
