Aragorn may have been known as the Ranger from the North, Strider, but he was also more than just a man to many. Crowned the King of Men by lineage, he was cursed with the burden of knowing that his forefather before him was strong enough to defeat the Dark Lord Sauron by severing his fingers (including of course, the One Ring of power), but he was not strong enough to resist the Ring itself. Symbolizing the corruption of power and absolution, the malicious nature of the Ring could hardly be resisted by any man!
Take Boromir, heir to the Steward of Gondor. He was renowned by all and loved by many, but to Frodo, he'll likely never be anything more than a terrifying giant frothing with desire and scrambling after him in the leaves. So when we think of the strengths of Men, think of dudes like Aragorn–kind, brave, just–and when we're all faced with dubious power of the Rings of our own lives, harness the power of the Heir to Isildur and wield his vigor like a mighty reforged blade.
Be more like Aragorn.
And if life's troubles get you down, never fear, for we are all only human and need a little strength every now and then. Refuel your spirits with this enriching collection of LOTR humor. Reforged in the kilns of Rivendell, the hopes of Men are reignited with these hilarious Lord of the Rings memes.
