Death and Life — The Fellowship of the Ring

“Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

Gandalf (Ian McKellen)

My Thoughts about this Quote:

We often cannot give mercy even when we feel that it is deserved, because the decision doesn't lay in our hands. Why should we then decide to do the opposide and think that we are entitled to judge and mete the judgement?

It is easier to destroy than to build or create... And often it is impossible or nearly so to rebuild things that are lost. Thus we should think before destroying.. or judging.
