Between Light and Dark

Every once in a while, we may get caught at an in-between place. I'll call this in-between place "Between Light and Dark".

We often have a sense of fear of an unknown when we move from a place of "light" to a place of "dark".

On the other hand, we often have a sense of excitement, or a sense of re-born when we move from a place of "dark" to a place of "light".

Pulling the plug... out of compassion?
Pulling the plug...I wish I have a say

Loss and Gain: Bilbo Baggins


A brilliant description of loss and gain happened to Bilbo Baggins in the Hobbit by JRR Tolkien:

"The Bagginses have lived in the neighbourhood of The Hill ... and people considered them very respectable, ... because they never had any adventures or did anything unexpected ... This is a story of how a Baggins had an adventure, and found himself doing and saying things altogether unexpected. He may have lost the neighbours' respect, but he gained -- well, you will see whether he gained anything in the end."
