Thoughts: Gollum and Smeagol

Remember the conversation between Gollum and Smeagol in the LOTR movie The Two Towers as Frodo and Sam slept?

GOLLUM: Wicked, tricksy, false!
SMEAGOL: No, not master.
Yes... precious! They will cheat you, hurt you, lie...
But... master's my friend!
You don't have any friends. Nobody wants you.
Go away!
Go away?
I hate you... I hate you!
Where would you be without me? I saved us. It was me... we survived because of me!
Not... anymore...
What did you say?
Master's our friend now...
What?
Leave, now, and never come back!
No!
Leave now, and never come back!


LEAVE NOW and NEVER come back!!!


Yes... I'm free! I'm free! Smeagol's FREE!!!


The conflict between Gollum and Smeagol actually reminds me that there are two sides to us. Whether we listen to the good or the evil is a choice we must carefully choose. It will ultimately decide our fate in the future.

Cheers.
