While reading Tolkien's work I found I was most inspired by the whole idea of redemption and forgiveness.Take Saruman for example, though he betrayed The White Council, allied with Sauron, betrayed Sauron and wished the ring for himself, Gandalf and Aragorn were still prepared to show him mercy. Today the philosophy would most likely be "an eye for an eye, a cheek for a cheek".
As for where I'd like to live:most probaly a secluded little spot in the Misty Mounatins, away from the hurried pace of cities to think and reflect on my life in general. Or somewhere near the sea like Dol Amroth, it would be nice to watch the sun setting each evening.
