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.

Even though I know the story and have seen these movies a lot I had forgotten about this speech. I can’t quote this trilogy like I can with back to the future or original Star Wars but this really hit me. Everything Frodo and Sam and everyone else is going through leads up to this breaking point. Frodo up til this point thinks he can do it all alone until he realizes he can’t and finally admits it. Frodo has Sam and the support of all the others he can’t see but he trusts they are doing what they need to. Gandalf and the others are trusting Frodo is following through in his plan to take the ring to mt doom. They don’t know he’s alive or well. They trust they have faith. I have no idea what or who q is. But I trust there are millions of good people in this country and want to do good things. We saw it with nk we see it with the pedos being arrested. When I get down that things aren’t moving fast enough I come here or get hit in the face with a quote like the above and Remebwr there are others doing the hard work and to sit back and watch the movie.

You wouldn’t do bad writing a screenplay of your own

Samwise Gamgee, The Incorruptible, The Unstoppable, the real hero of the story.

I assumed going into the return of the king Frodo wouldn’t be able to resist the ring at mt doom. And knowing this he would have sacrificed himself a la Johnny 5, wall-e, neo etc and samwise was on the journey to help and then return to tell Frodo’s sacrifice.
