Vanwalossien: Thanks for the deep thinking. I think we're talking about a certain kind of intelligence. I understand your attempt to "dumb-down" to your acquaintances to get them to open their minds, but the "could have happened" argument is doomed to failure from the get-go. As greyhavener said, it's in the applicability to our lives.
greyhavener: hee hee. Sure is nice to be quoted. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Everyday sombody casts a ring into the Cracks of Doom through a decision to change heart or deeds. Everyday somebody wakes up from the trance of a Grima Wormtongue and decides to become a hero instead. Everyday each one of us makes our true name that, as the ents say, embodies all that we are, longer and hopefully more beautiful. Fantasy (at least the fantasy I like) affirms nobility and honor in an age that often rejcts grace and dignity and truth.
