This is so gentle and good. Hope lies within the resistance of that which we don’t want to be. But let us not forget, had there been no gollum there would have been no salvation of middle earth. The darkness is not always so very dark in the grand schemes. And we can sweat out some of the restlessness that arises from our inner battles…but are we so very sick? Is what lies beneath those inner battles so debasing? I think Sméagol couldn’t resist because he believed that he couldn’t, gollum had Sméagol so convinced that he was so despicable that he was beyond salvation…but Sméagol wasn’t so very evil. There was a beautiful sweet naivety to the true Sméagol. The true Sméagol was not “the battle” but the sweet creature who reached to Frodo as a master with love and awe.
Drop a like, comment, subscribe! It really helps alot, also...I realize that Sméagol was still himself (sort of) when he killed his friend over the ring, but I think my main idea still stands haha.
Thanks so much for watching! Go out there and have a great day!

Super true! If Sméagol hadn't succumbed to his desire Frodo would have and the ring would have continued on with the destruction of Middle Earth!!
