Love

[TolkienGurl]

I absolutely adore The Lord of the Rings for many reasons. First of all, I feel a remarkable kinship with each of the characters, as if I am there with them, going through the same trials and having the same temptations assail me. Secondly, I think some of their characteristics have been passed on to me. I appreciate nature, and am able to identify many trees and plants that I previously cared nothing about. Even trees, naked and dead with the coming winter are beautiful to me. I can rejoice in the simple things in life, and not always worry about everything, good or bad, which I know happen for a reason. Third, but not last, is the fact that it has captured so many others' hearts as it has captured mine. I'm so glad you guys enjoy it as much as I do, and its really fun to discuss things with you, be it remarkable theories, good ideas, or just plain nonsense!

I shall not bore you with the endless list of why I love The Lord of the Rings. This bacially sums it up.
