Dammit Gandalf. We're tired.

This is one of my favorite LOTR quotes but I’ve never heard it in context to the pandemic. It really resonates.

"Use the force, Harry." -Gandalf

There’s some good in this world Mr. Frodo and it’s worth fighting for.

I came into this life kicking and screaming covered in someone else blood, by God I am going out the same way.

Look up Tolkien’s letter to his son regarding heaven.

OP thank you for posting something so close and dear to my heart.

I think it was Pippin who Gandalf was talking to in this bit.

Nah
Midnightwhiskey
He has some deep conversations with Pip but not this. He talked about how death is just the next great journey, one that we all must take.

"If war must come, let it come in my time, so that my children and theirs may know peace". Forget where I got that

Thank you sir!

I've been thinking about that exact quote quite a bit recently.

If there were a Gandalf assuring me, even from afar, I would have a lot more hope than I do.

you do not get to choose the cards that you are dealt, but, you get to decide how to play them.
Rodvitner
Thank you for repeating exactly what the quote is but in relevance to card games instead.

MY DECK HAS NO PATHETIC CARDS, BUT IT DOES CONTAIN.. EXODIA!~

this amounts to a platitude in this day and age

You clearly never played Euchre and had to follow suit.
DoctorPitt
True, I fold
StephsStar
Too bad I suck at cards...

I need some wholesome LotR rn. Ty +1

Remember - sometimes the best play is to tape razor blades to those cards & throw them like ninja stars right into the dealer's fuckin' face

The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say

Play the cards you have like they are the cards you wanted

Too bad I got dealt a bunch of high cost cards and no energy cards so I can play them.

Yeah but if you got dealt two uno cards, and old maid and pair of Zubat, it doesn't really matter how you play them, you're right fucked.
JPandhismightypotato
So do you choose to live your life bitter and envious of others? Or do you do your best and strive to improve the hand? Be the change!

UncleScarwasright
you're absolutely right. Sometimes, you've got few, if any, good options.
mjangelvortex
If you got dealt those cards, maybe you should point out that the person you're playing with is playing unfairly.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
you can eat the cards
Nephus
That's when you make up your own game.

It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were
isaypoopythingabecausemostofyouannoyme
and sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was
isaypoopythingabecausemostofyouannoyme
when so much bad happened. But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come.
isaypoopythingabecausemostofyouannoyme
And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something.
isaypoopythingabecausemostofyouannoyme
Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now.
isaypoopythingabecausemostofyouannoyme
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.
