I hate to bore everyone to death by dragging my ethnicity into this, but as a Russian, my favorite theme in LotR is of keeping faith, staying true, and fulfulling our duty to those whom we love. I was born into a society that continues to teeter dangerously on the edge of destruction, but I may never forget my obligations to Russia, no matter how hopeless it may all turn out to be. If I live a long life, I want to die with the sense that I did everything I could.
And the LotR inspires me to believe that we may yet breathe life into something that has died, but only if we do not succumb to despair.
...Wow, that was sanctimonious! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
