Would you have gone...

I actually never got to answer this before, sadly (and surprisingly). And, another point, equally as sad, is that no, I would not have gone with the Fellowship, given the choice. I have neither the courage nor the strength that it would have taken to go on such a demanding quest. Most likely, I would have hindered the company anyway, hopefully, for their sake, dying early on to spare them my companionship.

If you think about it, although we dream of romantic quests such as that, most of us would not be equipped for an ordeal such as the one the nine companions went on. We have our televisions, airplanes, air-conditioning, cars, and all those other conveniences that have made us soft these days. I am sure there are some out there that could undertake the quest, but I know that I, for one, am a product of my generation and would never be able to survive the trek to Mount Doom or anywhere else dangerous, most likely.
