They are the Nazgûl, Ringwraiths, neither living nor dead.” ~ Aragorn Blinded by their greed, they took them without question, one by one falling to darkness. Then Sauron the Deceiver gave to them nine Rings of Power. eowyn lotr tolkien lordoftherings armor chainmail shieldmaiden nazgul ringwraith medieval knight viking swordfight cloak cape robes #eowyn #lotr #tolkien #lordoftherings #armor #chainmail #shieldmaiden #nazgul #ringwraith #medieval #knight #viking #swordfight #cloak #cape #robes So what purpose does your life serve and does it matter, even if not an single person ever knows your name? Thus unless we wish to end in despair, we must find out why we matter without regard to fame or success. Of course, even if you really accomplish some great deed that is seldom enough to satisfy that devil inside you that tells you that you are worthless. Many of us spend our lives wishing to do great deeds, and feeling unworthy until we do. Éowyn is not the only one to fear a cage, especially in today’s celebrity-glorifying culture. I think this passage is one of Tolkien’s most astute observations of human nature. 'To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.’ ~ Tolkien medieval book tale story legend kingarthur knight king chainmail sword reading adventure literature lotr tolkien prince princess #medieval #book #tale #story #legend #kingarthur #knight #king #chainmail #sword #reading #adventure #literature #lotr #tolkien #prince #princess No matter if you are a president or a prisoner, a bishop or a beggar, play it well. This is not a “feel good/self esteem” sentiment.
But nothing could be further from the truth. It’s easy to feel like you are not a worthy part of that tale or that you should just end your part. Sometimes it’s easy to feel like you don’t matter.
But every single person that is born on to this earth is part of that story. Some parts are more visible, some are remembered longer. And everything you do plays a part in that. To be alive today means that you are part of a great story. Our part will end later - or sooner.’ ~ Tolkien `But the people in them come, and go when their part’s ended. ‘No, they never end as tales,’ said Frodo.
