It takes courage

You can’t be truly happy unless you are free. But it takes courage. If being free was easy, everyone would be doing it. You must have an earnest desire and diamond-like resolve. People are not going to roll out a red carpet and cheer you down the path of freedom. You must leave the shire of your own comfort. There will be wounds at Weathertop and a great struggle in Mordor, but you can’t stop.
