I wish I could take credit for this, but I stole the idea from someone else:
"So, Mr. Baggins, it appears that you've been leading...two lives. In one life, you are an ordinary hobbit of the Shire, going about your daily business at Bag End. You...organize your uncle's writings, you pay your gardener, Mr. Gamgee, an honest wage. On your birthday you...give generous presents to hobbit children. In the other, you are the Ring-bearer, charged to bring the One Ring to Mount Doom and destroy it. One of these lives has a future, Mr. Baggins, and the other...does not."
