wolkenstrahl:jimmytolans-blog:lotr meme: ten scenes [5/10] → the lighting of the beaconsI know the lighting of the beacons makes a lot of people cry every time they watch this scene, myself included. And you know why that is? Solidarity. That’s why. Solidarity, one keeping their promise to another, one being ready to help the other one out. Solidarity is something profoundly human, but we have unlearned it. We’ve been made to forget about it, to only circle around ourselves.But we can chose to take a lesson from this scene, and show solidarity with our fellow humans, even if we can’t see an immediate benefit from it. Sometimes the benefit cannot be seen, but it’s there. It’s there.Go, light the beacons!This scene always reminds me of The Agamemnon when the soldiers are keeping watch for the beacons signalling the King’s return. -- source link
