Fighting Through

 

I love Lord of the Rings.  I’ve been a fan since I was little, even long before the movies. The battle of Helm’s Deep in the Two Towers is by far my favorite part of all three movies.  Yes I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to Lord of the Rings.

I absolutely love so many themes in it though.  For starters there is the purpose and mission everyone has.  Nothing is ever doubted when it comes to doing good.  Good is good and evil is evil, a line that is often blurred these days not just in Hollywood and the media, but even in day to day life.

Even more than that though, is the fight.  The odds are incredibly stacked against every “good” character.  From a “practical” standpoint, they are all doomed from the get go.  Yet they don’t let that stop them.

We need to have that outlook on life.  So many people will try to tell us we will fail, that we can’t do something, but regardless of what they say we have to go into it knowing the odds are against us, but that we can overcome them.
