I will walk the road that God chooses for me, but I pray that it doesn’t take me to the Cracks of Doom. If it does, I pray that, like Frodo, I’ll lose only a finger.
I have traveled much in life, and it has changed and shaped me. The journey did bring pain, but more joy. And wisdom. I’m glad for where I’ve been. I’m not sure that Frodo was (though his knife wound may have hurt him more deeply than his loss of a finger).
Meanwhile, the quest brought glorious change to Sam and Aragorn, through great travail. And certainly to Gandalf. Merry and Pippin did face suffering, but for them I think their travels overall gave them adventures to talk about, much like Bilbo.
