Holy fool save the world
Tolkien, the master of Middle English literature, spent 10 years writing the Hobbit. Created the atmosphere of the pastoral world there. People there love life, drink beer, smoke, and take care of flowers. Even the music is played on the flute, which shows that it is Tolkien's pastoral.
But then he started to make the Lord of the Rings series. So the Hobbit became the starting point of the Lord of the Rings. It is not only the starting point of geography and journey, but also the starting point of spirit.
Their love of life gives them an incorruptible quality.
Isn't this Wagner? From the gold of the Rhine, to the creation of the Lord of the Rings, the Valkyrie, to the dusk of the gods. The world is a small catastrophe, and each king has gone through its own cycle.
In my opinion, the Hobbit is Parsifal. To fool is to love life, not to be deceived, and to value the closest people around you. The little prince is also a stupid man.
Jobs also said keep foolish, which shows how precious this is human quality. Stupid people are very persistent, they will stick to their own way, stick to the people around them, stick to every ray of sunshine that comes out of them.
So in the end Frodo was not bewitched and destroyed the Lord of the Rings and saved the world.
What to reject is more difficult than to pursue!
For most humans, the most difficult thing is to give up. Just go back to hermit like Tao Yuanming.
Many lovely young people, their failure lies in not knowing to refuse. They finally embarked on a path that others wanted them to take, and the whole life passed, and they didn't know to repent.
What I often say is that the deeper you love, the deeper you hate.
Without fierce hatred, to refuse a lot of things, you will not leave love to those who really need it.
So the great Frodo is more precious than Aragon.
Holy Fool saves the world.
