Lord of the Rings Quote of the Day for Real Life Application: "You must understand, young Hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say." – Treebeard Have you ever met someone that you considered to be very wise? Not because of something they said, but because of what they didn't say. Often the wise old sage is the one who listens a lot, but speaks little. This is sort of how the Ents were. They only spoke when it was worth saying. Partially because it took them a long time to say it, but also because they wanted to make sure it was worth saying. They language naturally caused them to only say things that were worth saying. Could you imagine if we applied this kind of logic to our internet... "discussion?" (Aka arguments). Think about this the next time you are engaged in a controversial or perhaps important conversion. Make sure that what you are saying is worth saying. That it contributes in some way. If not, perhaps it is not worth saying at all. #Patience #Hobbits #LoveYourNeighbor #LordOfTheRings
