In The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, Gandlaf describes Bilbo Baggins as "only a quite little fellow in a wide world after all." Although Bilbo contributed throughout the journey and even became the leader, it was still in his nature as a hobbit to stay inside his little hobbit hole where he felt at home. To a hobbit, it was respectable not to have adventures and keep to himself. Where's the fun in that?
Personally, I would hate to be "only a quite little fellow in a wide world after all." If I were, I would keep to myself and stay at home all the time. There would be no adventure and in my opinion, no fun. I could never live that way. There's no fun in blending in with the crowd. Also, I've always wanted to make a difference, which would require standing out. To me, being unique and different is a beautiful, respectful thing. If I were a hobbit, I wouldn't be a very respected hobbit, but I would be willing to sacrifice that for a fun life.
