J.R.R. Tolkien

"Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends."

Why don't people listen to people like Tolkien?!?!?!?!?

I don't think anyone has the infinite wisdom to understand each & all the consequences.

Surely that is what Tolkein is saying, as have the sages forever... but people get caught up in their own tiny little worlds...

Isn't that the same scenario all over though? Too much selfishness going on, its all me me me, want want want and then the inevitable looking after number one & **** you jack I'm alright.

I know....... I digress.
