User:Luthinya

Introduction
Luthinya was born in Xi'an, China in 1993 and currently studies in St Paul's Girls' School of Hammersmith, London. Previously she has lived in China for nine years where she committed most of her primary education. As her parents believed in a preferable and freer education in England she came over the sea to that country in 2003 and plans to remain until when she could matriculate into university. She has a deep interest in modern theoretical physics despite also cherishing a love for famous works of literature and philosophy, the most prominent among which being The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien and Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant. The coming to the West has profoundly influenced her character into a freer form of thought and expression, besides also considerably widening her channels of interests and knowledge into more distant and esoteric fields. Luthinya also personally feels that she owes most of her abilities in creative and 'against- the- tide' thinking to the encouragement of individuality prevailing in Western schools, instead of the reducing of students to a mindless and faceless mass by means of the helplessly lacklustre exams, as is the tide of modern China enforced indirectly by Mao Zedong himself. Certainly her love for modern physics would not have bloomed so bright had it been left to wait and whither in the Chinese classroom Newtonian physics.

A rather profound quotation from Fritjof Capra would ascribe to her current character very well: " Physicists have no need of Mysticism and Mystics have no need of Physics, but humanity needs both."

Lord of the Rings Fandom
It was nearly two years since Luthinya perused the first page of The Hobbit and embarked through the enchanting doorway to Middle- Earth. Since then she has cherished an ardent fervour for the books that revealed themselves overtly through many heated discussions, essays and other obsessive personality traits. She is especially fond of the philological studies of the Elvish languages, especially Quenya, which can be glimpsed through her username.

Luthinya re-reads the books regularly and can successfully memorise several particularly beautiful epitaphs. When in serious moral debate she would often also turn back to the books for advice, often staying upon late in the night considering the question of 'what would Gandalf have done?'. She quotes the book regularly in day- to- day conversations and use Tolkien as a moral compass in most social and personal considerations.

For Luthinya, as for many other Lord of the Rings fans, Middle- Earth has evidently become an infinitely beautiful secondary reality, a land of retreat, rest and meditation in times of sorrow and strife. As Luthinya herself said: '' It enables one to gaze upon the marvels and horrors of our world and truly comprehend them from the minds of wiser beings. When the hypocrisy and noise of reality were calmed and one may meditate upon the world silently, infinitely elegant, yet infinitely bereaved understandings may emerge that no other state of mind may ever comprehend. I sometimes wonder what exactly it is I feel when I read the books that I can never feel elsewhere, then it struck me- that celestial peace, celestial harmony of being with and within the universe- is what enwinds my heart into such beautiful songs. The books have opened so many doors for me- and they will continue to open doors until the ending of the world.''

The many regular readings of two years certainly have bequeathed enormous wisdom of mind and heart upon Luthinya, and even now she is continually trying to spread this wisdom and knowledge upon those who yet knew it not. Upon this same section she would also like to add information concerning the preference of name she would like to be referred. 'Tolkien fan' and 'Ringer' are two names that annoyed her exceedingly and under whose categories she begs not to be placed. On the other hand a rather obsolete name of LotRian seemed rather more pleasing for her, and the only category of fandom under which she wished to be listed.

Works
As at the time this page was edited Luthinya is still a new user, so the only contributions that could have been under her name would have been this userpage and subsequent talk page. However she is planning to write the article of Erendis, which at this time still appears to be empty.
