J. R. R. Tolkien: no, my books aren't about the war I experienced. It's just a story

J. R. R. Tolkien's works: you cannot go home, war ends entire bloodlines, you are mourning the death of your brother alone, you dug into the earth and permanently scored the land, you cannot explain what you have been through, you cannot go home, "that wound will never fully heal. He will carry it the rest of his life", leaving the women behind does not save them, the young die first, you cannot go home, the parent will bury their child, you have lost the wives and you will never connect with them again, "how shall any tower withstand such numbers and such reckless hate?", you are not the same, you cannot go home, you can never go home, your father will only side with those he sees as worthy bloodlines and you cannot change his mind, it is more meaningful Not to kill, sometimes your sacrifice accomplishes nothing, you cannot go home

Sometimes at work (private security, for those who don’t know) people ask me, “another day of stopping bad guys?” and like. I get that it’s usually a joking thing that people don’t think about but. It still gets to me every time, cause like

I don’t believe there are bad guys

I think that the difference between a bad guy and a person doing bad things is the capacity to do better, and I think that labeling anyone as a “bad guy” both absolves them of accountability and robs them of agency

And I think that everyone I meet who is in act of making bad choices is capable of doing better

Like whether or not they choose to, they could, and that’s both a gift and a responsibility that differentiates a human being from a random force of nature

If I didn’t believe that, I don’t think I could be here

I will never understand the hate for grey hairs. Your hair has sliver in it now. You have the color of stars on your hair. You have proof you survived and grew up. You have proof you are living. How is any of this bad?
