Weather many would ever read the book was of little concern to Bilbo. He simply felt the need to put it down so that future generations could know what happened to and through him. Sent off on a grand adventure at the bidding of Gandalf the wizard, Bilbo had acquired a magic ring.
And it would be useful again as Bilbo planned to vanish from the Shire in style. 
Which he does, literially.
At he end of his speech thanking those in attendance and bidding them good-bye, Bilbo Baggins disappears. He slips the magic ring on his finger and simply vanishes. He quite enjoys the trick and the animated talk it inspires.
He looks forward to the time he might now have to complete his book, a tail that Bilbo hopes will go on "happily ever after to the end of his days." 
But there's no way to know. Past adventures have taught him that scenes of his life are serving a much bigger story than his could ever express. And while Bilbo may be the star of his tail, he is not it's author. 
God, the omniscient playwright, was declared dead. Now no one knows the plot to the epic drama in which we find ourselves, leaving us with competing small stories but no overarching narrative that frames and explains the seemingly random experiences of life.
A fast-beating heart has nothing to do with love or with anything that will last.
What smites you is totally subjective. The reasons you feel this way about someone could be coming from a lot of sources, and sometimes it is important to find out what those are. 
But people who don't like to be confronted are not only very selfish; they are also in denial, and they are unable to resolve conflict. Not fun people to date.
Learn to be assertive and confront appropriately, and they will flee you and the good ones will find you. While you are noticing the moonlight, use that light to see the whole person and sit with the reality of who they truly are. Let it settle in, and you might or might not want to be there for long. Vampires only come out at night.
Learn healthy relationship patterns in healing settings, such as a small group. The unconscious part of ourselves has a wisdom of it's own, and in some ways our heart knows what it wants and needs. That is valid. 
Many Christians on the other hand, speak of the "abundant life" in which we "glorify God and enjoy Him forever" (ultimate meaning and fulfillment). They believe that God's kingdom will come, and His will shall be done "on earth as it is in heaven." Bible believing Christians believe "there is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun." They believe in what C.S. Lewis called "the great divorce" of heaven and hell, which will provide eternal bliss for those who say to God, "Thy will be done, "and an eternal woe for those to whom God says, "Thy will be done." This, however, stretches credulity beyond the breaking point. "Nothing" is nonexistent and therefore, it lacks the "power to do." Indeed, this "power to do" logically presupposes the existence of a thing that possess that power. Furthermore, something produced by nothing from nothing would logically, have had to create itself. But if it created itself, it would have had to exist prior to it's own creation, which means it must both exist and not exist at the same time and in the same way - an obvious contradiction and an utterly illogical conclusion. When the laws of logic are violated like this, reason and communication become meaningless. This is a list of serendipity615's Blogs. Click here for serendipity615's Blog List
