Frodo's Sacrifice

[Gandalf_theGrey]

Hail and Well Met, Eloin.

* bows a greeting *

As for your question, why did Frodo have to suffer?

Because suffering is the nature of sacrificial love.

As Frodo points out to Sam:

It must often be so ... when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them.

As for the other point you make clarifying that Frodo did not remain permanently in the West to live where he'd been taken, but in fact died ... there is a thread called "Tol Eressea and Aman" where you might wish to repost this clarification, as many people there will find it helpful.

Thank you for joining the discussion, Eloin, and helping to pinpoint its nature with your question. Please feel free to wade in any time. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

At your Service,

Gandalf the Grey
