Sharon, Thanx for your wonderful post. I always enjoy what you have to say. Actually, to be honest, i often ask questions in hopes that you will answer or give your opinions..hehe...i think i understand things and then i hear the way you put things and i understand them in a totally different way. its good to put the pieces together to this wonder story. i agree with everything you said. You are right, no one had the will to destroy it. No living thing could of. The One Ring was the deciding factor and it knew its own fate. I am sorry i asked the question about what would of happened if frodo had fell. I think i started something.lol...it was just something i wondered. i do agree that gollum would of went in after frodo, had frodo fell to his death in the cracks of doom. for his 'precious' was his life, his only reason for staying alive. without it, gollum would of not been able to live. he would of been stricken down with so much grief that his life would of ended soon after the ring was destroyed. It is an interesting thought about fate and how it applys even in our lives....its all the same. fate is written in stone. sometimes when i was reading things that gandalf said and i often wondered if he knew what was going to happen. maybe not but sometimes he sure acted as if he did. like he knew what was on the last page of a big book you are in. What do you say about gandalf and his comments on fate and this particuliar journey? Anybody want to elaborate? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
