An interesting thought occurred to me about Eru and Gollum's death...

And no, it has nothing to do with murderers...

Remember Gandalf's statement that "many who die deserve life and many who live deserve death" (paraphrasing), and his warning to Frodo not to be judgemental, for "can you give it to them?"

Well, the thought occurred to me that Eru CAN give life to those who deserve it, as well as taking life from those who deserve it.

Is it fitting, perhaps, that Eru is, if anyone, the One who takes Gollum's life?
