CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The elves in lord of the rings had a bleak choice: sail to the undying lands leaving man kind to be enslaved to the darkness of Sauran, or stay and fight until almost certain death for the frailest of hopes that an undeserving man kind might outlast the darkness. To make matters worse is that king Theoden took the poeple of Rohan to Helms Deep out of fear. All counselors in his life were urging him to live up to his true identity as the king of the horse people, to find Eomir and his men and fight. So the elves’ choice to stay and fight is even more heroic and self sacrificing. We are inspired by moments like this because that is our true identity. To fight back the darkness. To sacrifice our own comfort to do what is right. Not because someone has earned it, but because they need to be reminded of who they really are. To ride out in our true identity and hold on to hope however slim it may be.
