Having just completed my sort-of-annual rereading of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, I couldn't help thinking of Gandalf's wise words on judgment and just desserts. "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." Which is much heavier than deserving vs. desiring donuts, but any day is a good day for Tolkien (and donuts).
I agree wholeheartedly! I also reread the Lord of the Rings, pretty frequently. (I finished my latest rereading last March). And I love that quote from Gandalf. I keep it in mind and realize I am definitely not one of the "very wise!"
Mostly chocolate glazed. But a jelly donut is awesome from time to time!Ellen, the picture at the beginning of the post was a stock photo. I don’t recognize any that I would like. It was just kind of eye catching
