Sharing the Psychosis?

[Sapphire_Flame]

Don't worry, in this case, psychosis is a good thing! In all honesty, I believe that Middle-earth was (is) a real place, if only in our hearts and minds. It gives you an escape from the doldrums of everyday life and a chance to go on your own adventure with the Fellowship. I personally feel that I can really connect with the characters; they all seem so real and present, I can imagine the whole story playing itself out in my mind, with me right there every step of the way. It presents strong, important lessons that can be interpretted in hundreds of different ways for as many situations in real life.

I'm relatively new to the LotR fan circle. I do get radically offended when someone is unable to appriciate this great work. I think the reason that some people are unable to become immersed in Middle-earth is that they are too real, if you follow me. They can't comprehend something as complex and fantastical as the Trilogy. And, to be perfectly honest, I pity the people who can't.
