Huttman, you are a credit to the pursuit of innocence.
Actually, I was attempting to agree with you, but spoke out of my own shortsightedness. My previous post was originally directed toward this quote...

People characterise Chaos as evil simply becuase the dont understand that without chaos there would be little really to live for...

But ended up encompassing the current direction of this thread as a whole. (oops!) Ah well, even though I'm uncertain about life without chaos, I do agree that the below quote can make it possible.

The ability to dream it so makes it real for me. Everything I base that assumtion on also affects me in the present condition of things with that effect transposing on other people in a very positive albeit unspoken sort of way. If I can imagine it, then it could be so. I like the commentary Frodo gave at the end of RotK when he said basically how can one pick up the threads of a life after so much devestation (not exactly quoted), and Sam gave a speech similiar in The Two Towers. Time does heal a lot of things and if one should survive terrible times all the more would that one stick to a proper course in life knowing just how bad it could get by seeing it firsthand. My favourite quote from LotRs (yes I know it's a Star Wars thread) is ...all we have to do is decide what to do with the time given to us...
