The ‘Lord of the Rings’ question

Philosophy Forums Society, Government, and Economics
1

The implied message of the fairy-epic tale, Tolkien provides us with, is this:

Do we have the ability to give-up a great power and return ourselves to a simpler existence?

Do we have the ability to undo a great ‘evil’, or that which threatens nature and our nature, or are we addicted to power that corrupts and diverts us from ourselves?

Yes

We have the ability, that’s a certainty.
Will we do it? Never.
