...it seems appropriate with all the violence in the news and hardship in the world to remember the words of a few famous dudes.
"The land [of Mordor] seemed full of creaking and cracking and sly noises, but there was no sound of voice or foot. Far above the Ephel Duath in the West the night-sky was still dim and pale. There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever above its reach."
-J.R.R. Tolkien. The Return of the King p. 244.
"In this world you will have trouble; but take heart, I have overcome the world."
-Jesus. John 16:33
