I didn’t want to write too much about the vassal classics, but I saw that everyone was praising Sam’s loyalty and advice to Foduo (compared to Guru saying that he is an inescapable desire, and straightforwardly cursing a silly idiot), I feel that I should leave a little bit of my opinion as a reservation.
This phenomenon is not uncommon at all, it is true for Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and it is true for Foduo and Sam. We often draw conclusions right away, if there is no B, A would be dead. But few people really understand the hardships A and B have gone through, and why B is loyal to A.
Many people especially liked the very manly words Sam said: "I can't help you carry this burden, but I can carry you." Indeed, I was so moved at the time. But if Sam is highly praised for his burden, and only sympathy and understanding are given to Fodor, it is really obviously unfair. I think Sam shoulders the responsibility to Fodo, and what Fodo shoulders is the mission he once promised to the entire Middle-earth world. The responsibility comes from trust, and the mission comes from faith. This is fundamentally different. . Think of Zhuge Liang's assistance to Liu Bei's knowledge and experience, and think of Liu Bei's mission to support the Han room, and it should be a little better to understand. Of course, I didn't want to say which of the two is higher or lower, which is as boring as discussing who the two are awesome and stupid. What I want to say is that people should empathize with each other and think about the pressure they bear, and don't make conclusions and make unnecessary comparisons on the so-called results for any one person's contributions and sacrifices. The same thing, the experience of each person is different, cherish to understand oneself, and objectively respect others.
So I would prefer the phrase Fodor said to Sam "It's gone! It's done!" when faced with the hot lava Wife and child witness the legend, no matter what, you can turn it over; but for Foduo, all this is just completed, completed his own mission, and completed a book, but he who has faded away from the mission can no longer be found. The experience of putting oneself in eternal disaster for the sake of mission is like the knife he was stabbed, staying in his chest forever. It hurts to everyone who read this story.
