I like having serious talks with people.

Not only do you learn a lot about the other person but you let out a lot of things you’ve been keeping inside for a long time. I love that feeling you get when you finally get to tell someone about something you’ve kept in for so long. It’s just so relieving.

The giant mirror of Viganella built to combat the 83 days of darkness in the year

In amongst the steep mountains of the Italian Alps lies the village of Viganella, a remote commune with a dwindling population of 200. Every year from November 11th to February 2nd, the village is cast under a dark shadow as the sun disappears behind the mountain. The mayor of the village Pierfranco Midali decided to combat this by building a giant mirror on the opposite mountain which would reflect sunlight back into the village. The mirror measures 8 meters by 5 meters and cost 100,000 euros to build and install. The project was such a success that people have began moving back to the village, and the mayor is now regarded as a hero.

The hobbit you just called fat? He’s skipping 2nd breakfast. The dwarf woman you called ugly? She spends hours braiding her beard so you can differentiate her from a dwarf man. The Uruk-Hai you just killed? He’s been abused by Saruman. See that Gollum creature with the gangly limbs&large eyes? For 500 years the Ring poisoned his mind. That Elf you just made fun of for crying? She just lost her wizard friend to a Balrog. Reblog this if you’re against bullying in Middle-Earth.

That blue-eyed hobbit you just called annoying? He sacrificed everything to save Middle-earth, and only his closest friends gave him any credit.

I love books. The ability to be sitting in a crowd of people and yet still being able to escape into a whole new world. Reading will never be outdated or forgotten, because our imaginations and minds crave them. The feeling of slipping into other worlds for a while is one of the greatest ways to treat yourself.

When having an argument or conversation, using reason to debate reason is fine, but it shouldn’t be the end. Only the Gospel will save - not your best philosophical, metaphysical, teleological arguments, but the Gospel and the work of Christ on the cross.

And I’m learning this, too

"But you see, here in America the attitude that is fed to us is that outside of America there live lesser people. “Fuck them, let them fend for themselves.” No, Fuck you, they are you. No matter how much you want to dye your hair blonde and put fake eyes in, or follow an anorexic standard of beauty, or no matter how many diamonds you buy from people who exploit your own brutally
to get them, no matter what kind of car you drive or what kind of fancy clothes you put on, you will
never be them. They’re always gonna look at you as nothing but a little monkey. I’d rather be proud of what I am, rather than desperately trying to be something I’m really not, just to fit in."
