Don't get me wrong, up with reason and all that, but magic kicks ass. It's why I love LOTR and fantasy in general. Waiting for Santa to show up, and honestly believing that he would, were just some of the best memories I ever had. Magic just makes the world feel more wondrous and shiny. Sure, the natural world has immense beauty to it, but it also has endless light years of dark nothingness, where the very concept of existence or meaning or anything really is irrelevant. Makes me feel depressed and inconsequential. Not believing in magic might be more rational, but there's no law that says that being more rational somehow makes you or the world any happier.
