What is the most dangerous thing you have ever done?
Aragorn thinks of the many dangerous situations he’s lived through.. hunting the servants of the Enemy, battling them, facing their attacks to defend the innocent.. all dangerous things, but in a way.. safe.. He always had himself to count on, his full resources at his disposal, making it possible for him to face any threat without a second thought.
Nothing physical can be a true danger, only emotions can bring danger because they take away from you the cool detachment that you can have when you know that what you are risking is just yourself, with no strings attached, no consequences for anyone else.
Emotions make you think of other people, make you think of what you risk and stand to lose, and the conflict that is born inside you puts you in danger.
And what is the deepest emotion of all? Love...
So loving is the most dangerous thing he has ever done. And the most precious.
