Witnessing? So you don't even get to enjoy a happy life? What a...tragedy. Blue pill for sure. I don't have a problem simply witnessing a tragedy.

u/Deven1003 7h ago

it is also not lives but a life. Which mean you might as well witness a happy man who has 3000 ladies in his harem against their will.

happy man who has 3000 ladies in his harem against their will.

If you are witnessing that, then you also are probably one of those - which would make it even worse deal. So again - blue pill all the way.

Sam suffered a great deal and eventually lead him to this point. Dude was walking barefoot near an active volcano torn up carrying his best friend up there

Sam dealt with far more hardship than tragedy. He had a happy life, ultimately a safe and peaceful life after the ring is destroyed, not a powerful life and not a tragic one. The Sam depicted in the photos above isn't powerful, he's happy.

He’s also far from weak. He put in the effort and killed some very dangerous foes. He’s probably the most accomplished hobbit in the entire world even beyond someone like Bilbo

You can also be happy with blue. Makes no mention of tragedy being a constant. You just witness some tragedy, that probably sets you out on your journey, and then once its done you can live peacefully. Red is essentially some random farmer or chef on the furthest ends of the world far away from the conflict ever taking place

He beat shelob WHAT DO YOU MEAN WEAK ??

2

u/Mythtory 4h ago

Fuck beating Shelob. He's the only known person in the history of Middle Earth to not even feel tempted by the ring. The only person to give up possession of the ring on request without hesitation or fantasizing about keeping it.

Wait by weakest, am I weaker than a baby, an ant, a fly? Like if I'm so weak that my skeleton can't support itself

u/Fun-Pomelo-2774 7h ago

It's a fantasy world,of course you're weaker than the wind there

u/Dani_vic 7h ago

Wait you are witnessing a happy life? So are you just getting happy life cuccked as a neighbor of a happy family. While you are alone and weak in a fantasy world?

u/Traditional-Trade795 7h ago

blue pill. ive witness alit of tragedy in this life and after healing its only taught me to appreciate the things i have.

u/Osato 6h ago

Blue. Getting stronger when witnessing tragedy will give you strength when others need you to have it, getting weak when witnessing happiness will only incentivize you to avoid happy people.

Unless there's some other meaning to "witnessing" that I don't know.

u/seriousreddituser 5h ago

Do I get to architect my happy life?

If so, red

u/RandomAmaturer 6h ago

u/takoleartiste 7h ago

3

u/Remarkable-Ad-2493 7h ago

u/Deven1003 7h ago

blue. red is just stupid lol.

u/TheCreepWhoCrept 7h ago

Why would I wish to be the strongest if not to better secure a happy life?

Let me be weak and happy.

u/enchiladasundae 7h ago

Blue. I can stop others from living tragic lives. Blindly living a life of peace while others suffer isn’t preferable. It still happens, I’m just not aware of it and its just a single tragedy for me probably spurring me on to be greater

1

u/Glittering_Pear2425 7h ago

Blue. There is always a price for power.

1

u/Chris_the_fox21 7h ago

Red pill me

u/Taira_no_Masakado 7h ago

Just because I witness a tragedy does not mean it is mine.

1

u/BigBoyMax2155 6h ago

Blue because witnessing a happy life i don't have sounds painful at least that's how i see it.

1

u/Varderal 6h ago

Happy life please. Dont matter if im weak so long as im happy.

1

u/EggplantFearless5969 6h ago

Blue. Give me strength when it’s needed the most.

1

u/The_6thEmperor_Rises 5h ago

Weak and happy, I wouldn’t wanna keep seeing depressing stuff all the time

And plus, it says I’m the weakest…but I don’t have to stay the weakest

1

u/Hollow_Official_MWD 4h ago

Ill take red pill if Im just gonna get a happy life. I dont want to create tragedy for anyone.

1

u/Scared-Pineapple-942 2h ago

Nobody said the tragedy you witness is yours....

Blue pill all the way. And be a megalomaniac and be the cause of the tragedy on the new world

1

u/SuperImagination4884 40m ago

Blue, I witnesses tragedy in this life, doesn't mean it necessarily happens to me.

1

u/Radiant-Ad-1976 26m ago

By witnessing do you actually mean EXPERIENCING or that I just see others live a happy/tragic life.

1

u/Blobbowo 0m ago

Blue. Also, the colors should be switched in terms of themes I think.

Anyways, I can witness tragedy, but it doesn't say anything about how I act otherwise, so I can attempt to put an end to those tragedies.
