That video nails it - and at the same time reminds me of the Palantir in Lord of the Rings. This jewel gives knowledge of what is going on without advice..."Amin (Todai) has embarked on a number of restaurant projects: first, launching the critically acclaimed Lucien Restaurant, in the core of downtown Toronto – which garnered the title of Best New Restaurant of 2008 by Toronto Life Magazine;"
I was struck how Tolkien managed to see the three main responses to the truth that was revealed, and in some ways shine a lot of understanding on the "truth" movement many years later.
Saruman is both overwhelmed and seduced by darkness as he looks into the plans of the enemy.
Denethor looks to his own resources and finds them wanting. In despair he turns in on himself, in the end to suicide.
Aragorn believes the power of goodness is greater than evil and is able to look into the darkness without being defeated. Appropriately, this takes place in a book called "The Return of the King"
@Haich - As a Christian who identifies with the Aragorn point of view, I am drawn to the words of Revelation 19 when thinking about how things will work out in the end (which I needed to read to properly make out the words in this song ;-)
