Ultimately, I would not be happy living a simple life like Bilbo Baggins. He is satisfied with being "only a little fellow in a wide world after all". Bilbo Baggins prefers living in his peaceful hobbit hole and missing out on what the outside world has to offer. I could never live that way. I wouldn't want to lose the opportunity to experience great possibilities. To walk within the lines would make my life so boring.
I'd like to know that I have lived my life to its fullest potential. I want to travel and accomplish things no one else has. I wouldn't want to be ordinary or just another average person. Eventually, I'd like to make a name for myself. My life would be pointless if I was "only a little fellow in a wide world". Hopefully, my legacy will show that I made the world a better place.
