LotR: The Anti-Drug

[Duncariel]

Niluial, I am very sorry about your niece and know exactly how she feels. I suggest pointing out a few aspects from Tolkien's work that helped me realize the need for strong relashionships and a close knit group of friends. Frodo and Sam, for instance, are hardly ever separated. Even when Frodo flips, Sam is patiently trying to bring him back. Legolas and Gimli are the same way, only, it is a littly harder for them because of the whole Elf/Dwarf thing.

As for LotR being an anti-drug, I think that's pretty close to being right on. A healthy obsession can be exactly what it sounds like, ummm, healthy. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] A little bit of insanity is always a good thing.
