Gotta say something on this. I struggle with myself a lot. As we all must do. Whether you believe in it or not, something like the dark side or the light side, we struggle with it. Our capacity to do good and evil comes in equal measure.
So I watched the hobbit and what Gandalf says about why he chose bilbo I think is really great. He picked him because he was an ordinary good natured fellow. And he further claims that it is in the small acts of such people, their kindness, their simplistic good nature, that evil is held in check, moreso than with powerful armies etc.
I believe in that. You know above all else in my life what keeps me sane amidst the terrors of this world, it's remembering that as a child there was this old man who lived next door to us. He was so nice to us, made balloon animals for us. That's what does it, ya know. Keeps me believing life is worth a damn. I don't care if I ever really accomplish anything significant, but I'll be damned if I let the world fully corrupt me and make me stop believing in people's good side. God damned...
