‘How shall a man judge what to do in such times?’   ‘As he ever has judged,’ said Aragorn. ‘Good and ill have not changed since yesteryear; nor are they one thing among Elves and Dwarves, and another among Men. It is a man’s part to discern them, as much in the Golden Wood as in his own house.’ — The Two Towers

My Take – Conflict and bad times do not change what is right and what is wrong.  I hope that my ethics and morals are strong enough that when things get tough, I will not compromise them in order to make life easier.  Taking the hard right over the easy wrong doesn’t just apply when it’s easy to do.  It’s even more important when it’s hard to do.
