The Lord of the Rings Challenge

2 days done brave Fellowship. no sign of hesitations, feeling really solid.

on the last week i decide to go Henry David Thoreau and live a simpler life. i cut out all screens usage (TV, mobile, pc´s, etc...) and the result is amazing. i´m feeling great, solid and with little social anxiety. and we´re talking about the first days after a relapse which are usually the toughest.

it´s scary how screens steal dopamine and good mood. i recommend it to everyone, especially when facing hard times. and there´s so much stuff to do that don´t involve screens. even a simple talk with somebody becomes deep and heartwarming when we´re not rushing to check the next notification. it´s amazing . life becomes really alive!!

"G'mork: If you come any closer, I will rip you to shreds.

Atreyu: Who are you?

G'mork: I am G'mork. And you, whoever you are, can have the honor of being my last victim.

Atreyu: I will not die easily. I am a warrior!

G'mork: Ha! Brave warrior, then fight the Nothing.

Atreyu: But I can't! I can't get beyond the boundaries of Fantasia!

[G'mork laughs and Atreyu gets a little angry]

Atreyu: What's so funny about that?

G'mork: Fantasia has no boundaries.

[laughs]

Atreyu: That's not true! You're lying.

G'mork: Foolish boy. Don't you know anything about Fantasia? It's the world of human fantasy. Every part, every creature of it, is a piece of the dreams and hopes of mankind. Therefore, it has no boundaries.

Atreyu: But why is Fantasia dying, then?

G'mork: Because people have begun to lose their hopes and forget their dreams. So the Nothing grows stronger.

Atreyu: What is the Nothing?

G'mork: It's the emptiness that's left. It's like a despair, destroying this world. And I have been trying to help it.

Atreyu: But why?

G'mork: Because people who have no hopes are easy to control; and whoever has the control... has the power!
