In Tolkien’s stories there are few characters that are without fears and doubts when confronted with a great crisis and it is how they overcome this internal struggle which brings out such amazing characters. Part of that transition is perhaps a realisation that hope is small, but always worth fighting for. That some may be sacrificed or not save the planet for themselves but for the future. I think this altruistic attitude is the most difficult for people to face. I one respect it is right to say "i want to change the world, people have and are changing the world, therefore i am going to change the world". However this puts out a Holy Grail goal of the world tangibly changing without a person’s life span or expectation threshold and to our predefined utopian vision. I think it is better to focus on "i want the world to change for the better, this may seem an impossible goal but what is important is to try even if it does not happen, the process of change and adventure is where i will be and that is good enough, all there is to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you, fate will take care of the rest".</p> I love the reference to Lord of the Rings, it’s something i’ve often reflected on.
