Ambition

I really need to keep my ambition in check.
Yeah, the concert was fun, but I'm not Paul Wilbur. I don't need to run a global ministry. He is an extrovert, I an introvert. That's perfectly fine.
Aragorn would never have won without the plain hobbit-sense and humility of Samwise, the guy who only wanted to tend his garden and marry Rosie Cotton.
I think what Tolkien was trying to say was: every part is needed, large and small, and the older Rankin-Bass cartoon conveyed the point beautifully. "Less can be more, and small can be beautiful."
At the end of the show, Wilbur urged us all to put on a Star of David pin. Dad and I declined. We're not ones to make loud public declarations. And that's fine too.
I really miss that cartoon. It deserves to be every bit as famous as the Jackson version, but like Sam, it's remained small and humble. Keep your eyes open.
