26: i am frodo.

I admit it, come to me fuming mad against another person and i will always frustrate you with that benefit of the doubt phrase. maybe i give my trust so easily but this is far from being merely passive about issues going on around now.

I've had my own share of fights. Frak I've been openly shamed in meetings for being vocal about my stand on issues in the workplace before, but I didn't give a damn. so I think I can give a good fight when I need to. But now I feel strangely distant.

Ye cheesy as it may sound but I still believe in humanity. Maybe when I witness first hand the wrong things or the wrong person, only then will I decide for myself. But otherwise, I always stay in that corner of the room and hold my judgment.

(im not making any sense so let me try to use examples)

So. perhaps I am more of a trusting Frodo Baggins than a suspecting Samwise Gamgee.

But I am fully aware of the risk. I know that Frodo trusted Gollum and in the end lost a finger for it. Hey I'm even aware of what happened to ever-trusting ever honorable Ned Stark. But still.

Maybe its my own attempt to find sense in this crazy world. Maybe a part of me believes that such trust given to a person can somehow make a person trustworthy. Maybe.

I'm counting my fingers now. If and when I survive this ordeal, let me show you my fingers once more and count with me.

Yes yes, you can come with us, Gollum.
